A Goodreads user asked this question about Horrorstor:

I'm really intrigued by the premise, but wondering what age group this would be appropriate for. I typically stick to YA, what is it about this book that is 'adult'?

I could easily see myself reading this as a teenager as I enjoyed horror back then. So yeah, if you do enjoy horror then I'd say read it. It does get a bit gory and if you're one of those people that gets offended by swearing then you might be bothered by that, but in general I'd say if you enjoy horror and don't mind a bit of gore then go for it.

The other thing though is that a lot of the humour is based on making fun of corporate retail culture, so how much you understand/enjoy the humour could also depend if you've ever worked a retail job. Plenty of 16+ teenagers have worked those kinds of jobs, so I would say that part is less age-dependent and more experience-dependent. (less)
