Dead Mall

In a frozen desert north of nowhere, evil is open for business. Growing up in the dead-end town of Halcyon, Nevada, Cari Hembert's young life was practically over before it began. Then she got fired from her cashier job, locked in the local mall overnight, and discovered what really goes on in the semi-abandoned shopping center after dark. Alongside the disgraced former mayor, a retired army lieutenant, and a snarky hammer-wielding custodian, the misfit teen finds her place doing nightly battle against the sinister inmates of Edensgate Shopping Center as they try to claw their way out. Gigantic sludge monsters. Grinning demons. Squirming vermins. And that's just the first week. Every new job is tough. At Edensgate, it's a real horror show.
