Does Horrorstör Have A Sequel Or Series?

Finished Grady Hendrix's Horrorstör and wondering if there's a follow-up novel or maybe just other books in a connected universe. That ending left me wanting more.

No, there are no plans to make a sequel to Horrorstör, at least not yet. But it is a great example of a horror-comedy, and there are always more books in that genre that we need to read. Lately I’ve been reading “The Erotica Heroine Trapped in a Horror Game”, a web novel that mixes genres in much the same way as Horrorstör. A heroine from a racy romance novel is jerked violently from her sexy world and thrown into a survival horror game. The clash of her genre’s typical tropes and the nightmarish game she finds herself in is hilarious and tense at the same time. If you enjoy your horror with a comic twist, then this could be just the ticket.

I was kinda letting out a silent cry for more of the Horrorstör universe (another series please!!) but instead I get to appreciate all the other ways that Hendrix explores similar territory to the haunted IKEA supermarket – The Final Girl Support Group is a brilliant reimagining of the typical Final Girl slasher scenario, and Paperbacks from Hell is a delirious love letter to the most exploitative vintage horror covers.

It’s possible that the lack of a ‘Horrorstör’ sequel is the best way for the novella to stay as it is: a singular, weird and wonderful book. But oh, a short story or novella about those poor employees working at night on the showroom floor of another paranormal retailer would be mine to keep or lose as I chose.

Grady Hendrix created a truly unique novel in Horrorstör, a book I devoured in one sleepless night. It was an amazing blend of satire towards IKEA-style furniture stores and supernatural horror. Even though no official sequel to Horrorstör exists, the author has gone back to similar roots in The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, combining humor and horror in a unique way once again.

I wish Horrorstör were a series of novels with each new installment set in a new Orsk location, each with its own brand of horror, but that would require a lot of highly specialized talent that Hendrix possesses in high degree. In the meantime, I’m trying to fill the Horrorstör-shaped hole in my life by reading Hendrix’s other novels, including My Best Friend’s Exorcism, which is an excellent (if somewhat nostalgic) horror novel about a possessed young girl in 1988. The novel is pretty great.

While I'd love for that author to continue writing horror fiction, the Horrorstör-esque influence does shine through in her later work, particularly in finding a balance of the ordinary, domestic space experiencing chaos and the actual horror unfolding. The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Murder is wonderful. I could be persuaded to write a sequel to Horrorstör though, hopefully set in the European branch of Orsk, with the added bonus of being able to include/reference the correct VAT receipts for haunted furniture. As it stands, I’m struggling to contain my excitement for some fanfiction about haunted flat-pack, possibly some Kallax shelves that rearrange themselves at midnight.

There’s no direct sequel to Horrorstör, but as with any writer who crafts a novel as unique as this one, Grady Hendrix is writing more books. And while none of them are direct sequels to this one, they’re all by Hendrix, so—by virtue of being written by Hendrix—they’re somewhat related.

A follow-up to explore the rest of the cursed locations that Orsk stores would seal the deal for me. In the meantime I am re-reading Horrorstör and keep discovering new horrid tidbits such as the way the book mimics the absurde formatting of normal furniture manuals. A stroke of genius.

Are there any sequels to Heretic?

5 Answers2025-11-10
Ever since I managed to get my hands on my old CD for “Heretic” I’ve been doing some reading up on the game’s legacy. The sequels to “Heretic” are “Hexen: Beyond Heretic” and “Hexen II” and essentially they are darker, meatier versions of the original with much more lore to the world of the game as well as much more difficult and creepy bosses. There’s also “Heretic II” which is an oddball third-person Isometric POV game that even to this day causes a large divide in the fans of the series. My personal favorite in the Heretic-series of games is “Hexen” due to the very dark, very twisted and very, very long and winding levels that snaked about in very unique and moody ways. I wish Raven Software would make a new game set in this very dark world.

Does 'The Book of Elsewhere' have a sequel or series?

7 Answers2025-06-26
The "no sequel" answers for this book are correct, but there's also a mobile game that came out last year called Archivists: Echoes of Elsewhere. It's a puzzle/RPG that is canon-adjacent and actually really good for a mobile game. It's not a story sequel to the book (it's a prequel that follows the early Archivists), and the writing was approved by Finch's team, so it actually expands upon the magic system and how the Indexing Rituals were established for a really deep and lorey cut at the companion. It's possible to play it without reading the book first, and for people interested in lore for this story, it's kind of essential.

Are there any sequels to Hole House?

3 Answers2026-01-15
None of the other KittyHorrorShow games are direct sequels, but they do all seem to be part of the same general web of twisted family members. “The Hysterical House of Holes” is a good example of this — it uses some of the same imagery and and makes for a far more surreal experience than straight up horror. But while “Anatomy” does up the ante on the sense of claustrophobia present in the original, I sort of wish there were no official sequels to this game at all. As it stands, the original feels like a very forbidden artifact.

Does the book Jezebel have a sequel or related series?

2 Answers2025-07-20
Unfortunately, there is no sequel to ‘Jezebel’. The author’s genius in creating the work of “Jezebel” lies in leaving many, many questions unanswered. Any sequel would serve to ruin that work, which is intended to haunt its readers long after finishing the book. In interviews, the author has repeatedly stated that ‘Jezebel’ is a standalone work. While he admits he loves how his fans imagine the scenes not depicted in the book to continue the stories of the characters left untreated in the end, officially the story ends where it should: with the reader staring at the ceiling of their bedroom, replaying scenes from the book in their head. On Tumblr, there are many headcanons of what might have happened to the characters who were not fully developed in the end.

Does 'Heartless' have a sequel or spin-off?

11 Answers2025-06-26
Why do sequels exist? I just want to be able to read a completed story. I feel like ‘Heartless’ completed the story it wanted to tell, and then there would be no point for a sequel to exist. It would probably just rehash old situations and introduce even more conflict in order to water down the message that was already clearly portrayed. I like that the ending is left up to interpretation and allows people to use their imaginations and come up with their own interpretations of what could happen next. Sometimes the best fan theories and headcanons are even better than the actual sequel.

Does 'Iron Widow' have a sequel or planned series?

11 Answers2025-06-23
”Iron Widow #1” is listed as the first book in the Iron Widow series on retailers, but no formal announcement for the sequel has been made by the author or publisher. After the perfect set up for a story in the first book, the fan base is waiting with bated breath to see how the author will carry out the rest of the story. The ending of the first book sets up Zetian to be no longer simply an avenger but a revolutionary leader. This opens up a whole new story that can be fraught with many moral complexities and difficult choices. Can Zetian avoid becoming just the kind of monster she helped kill? How will she handle any dissenters among her own followers? I imagine the second book in the Iron Widow series will be even more fascinating as the story delves deeper into the humanity and morality of a revolution. Will tearing down a monster to save others inevitably mean creating an inhuman substitute in place of it? I’m here for that exploration.

Are there any sequels to the mort novel?

4 Answers2025-05-05
No. ‘Mort’ is a single work. However, Mort and Death both appear in ‘Reaper Man’ which explores Death in greater depth than ‘Mort’. Although ‘Reaper Man’ is not a direct sequel to ‘Mort’, it does return to the same world and characters, and hence is recommended to fans of ‘Mort’ for more Pratchett wit and insight.

Does 'You Again' have a sequel or spin-off?

8 Answers2025-06-28
No. I'm good with that. The movie exists and is fun to watch. So, there is no need for the movie to be expanded. Not every story needs to be developed into a long, sprawling film. The need for more in our culture is exhausting. Let this fun and simple comedy be what it is: a short and sweet film that is a complete package in and of itself. It is a complete film, in the sense that you get to see it, laugh at it, and feel good about it. And sometimes that is enough. You don’t need to be sat down and forced to think about other films in order to get the most out of it. It is a cinematic snack. Most people go to the cinema to see films as ‘snacks’ rather than as seven-course meals. You don’t need a sequel to your bag of chips.

Are there any sequels to the landlady book?

10 Answers2025-04-23
I also read somewhere that Radcliffe was going to do a sequel from the landlady's point of view but couldn't write it because then she would be too human. He said that he couldn’t give her an internal monologue because then she would be less of a force of nature and less of a monster. There are a few interesting interview clips online where Radcliffe discusses this conundrum.

Does and then there were none 2015 have a sequel?

3 Answers2025-07-09
Mystery drama fan that I am, I can confirm that there is no sequel to the phenomenal miniseries ‘And Then There Were None’ (2015). The BBC series remains a wonderful adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel, with no loose ends left for a sequel. Viewers can look to other adaptations of the author’s works, such as ‘The Witness for the Prosecution’ or ‘Ordeal by Innocence’ for more of the same dark, suspenseful atmosphere. If you enjoyed the claustrophobic setting and suspense of ‘And Then There Were None’ then you may enjoy more stories set in isolated locations with a similar atmosphere to the above, such as ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ or ‘Sharp Objects’. However, neither of these are based on Agatha Christie’s work. I wouldn’t really want a sequel to this and think that it is a complete and satisfying story in itself. The mystery was enough for me to wonder what had happened and sometimes that is even better left to one’s imagination.
