This book was my induction into the world of horror fiction. Interestingly enough the actual content of the book is not scary as much as it is grimy and gross. I must admit that there were moments where I became very weary of the dark corridors of my local mall and looked very carefully at sales people and shoppers. There are moments in the book where skin will crawl and your toes will curl. Descriptions are present, but not overtly, the content provides a platform for our imaginations to run wi

It was supposed to be a quick trip to the mall, make the deal, score a hit and get back before anyone noticed that she, and the kid she was looking after, were missing. But after returning from her dealer to Only Book, the store she left the kid waiting in while she made her transaction, she discovered the kid had disappeared.
A run in with mall security should have been just what she needed, they would find the kid and she could leave, however they are not as helpful as she hoped. Wors More...

What more can you ask from if you're looking for an off-the-wall romp that pokes fun at retail and residential hell, all in one? Two misfits, Rhoda and Daniel, form an unlikely partnership when they slip into the Other Mall that exists as an infernal mirror of Highgate Mall in Joburg.
While the author went on a limb creating two thoroughly unlikeable main characters, I found I was nonetheless cheering for them by the end of the story in all their glorious personal dysfunction. Althou More...

The Mall is the twisted psychotic baby of Louis Greenberg and Sarah Lotz, writing together as S.L. Grey.
It's the story of two misanthropes and their descent into an alternate reality shopping hell. Rhoda is a junky, out to score a fix at the local mall, when she loses the kid she's babysitting. Dan is a wage slave at the local bookstore. The two are both cheerfully revolting human beings – Dan is every spineless spoiled emo-brat blaming the world for his troubles, and Rhoda, the scarre More...

Review first published on my blog Violin in a Void
Rhoda was supposed to be babysitting someone’s kid, but she lost him when she left him at Only Books in Highgate Mall while she went to score crack from her dealer. Dan’s an emo bookseller at Only Books. He hates his manager, he hates his job, he hates his life. He also seriously pisses Rhoda off when he tells security that he didn’t remember seeing her with any kid, because he didn’t think that a scruffy-looking black woman with a scar More...

The Mall was creepy and kept me interested throughout, the characters Rhoda and Daniel had a constant style in their character that made it easy to differentiate them from one another. I liked the twists but would have liked some of the Afrikaan language to be translated right away as it left me a bit confused. I am also not a huge fan of the constant swearing although I knew it was necessary for the persona's of each character.

Not normally my style. Creepy / gross yet fun. However, as somebody who likes 1984 I thought I'd give it a go. Read it on the Kindle while travelling on various airplanes. A much safer place to read it than a home with stairs. . .

This is as original as it gets!! Once you start ... there is no stopping until the final page! It is a dark creative spark in the world of fiction.

Not sure whether I liked it or not really. An odd book that leaves you with more questions than answers.
