About this listen
Some people will kill for a bargain...and at the Park Plaza Mall they do! Here, you can shop till you drop...dead!
High tech robots equipped with state-of-the-art security devices have been recruited as the new mechanical "night watchmen" for Park Plaza Mall. When a jolting bolt of lightning short circuits the main computer control, the robots turn into "killbots"...on the loose after unsuspecting shoppers! Four couples are trying to make it after hours in a mattress store. They make it alright—in the morgue!
At Park Plaza, you can save on everything but your life! Encyclopocalypse Publications has joined forces with Shout Factory to novelize the cult classic 1986 film Chopping Mall. Produced by the legendary Roger Corman, Chopping Mall has been a mainstay of the horror genre, Chopping Mall: The Novelization promises to deliver all the laughs and thrills that have made it a beloved fixture in horror cinema.

Story
Charlie Haynes is an aging ex-detective, working unsolved cases. Obsessed with cleanliness and order, Charlie is a loner who trades on his experience of grisly crimes, and struggles to maintain a relationship with his adult daughter. When three teenagers are murdered in a public cemetery, the ritualistic killings show similarities to one of Charlie’s old investigations: a savage serial killer who targeted the members of a notorious Traveller family, the Boswells.

Story
Ren has a problem, and it’s not his heroin addiction. Or that he’s wanted for murdering his step-father. He’s being haunted by something far worse than the ghost of his dead sister. When he hitches a ride with Lefty, Jersey, and Geena, a group of itinerant addicts on the run from their own problems, he starts to believe maybe things are looking up. But there’s something wrong with Lefty. Something unnatural. Something that wants to see them all dead. Can Ren stop it in time, or will he end up torn apart on the side of the highway? Or worse?

Bloody good time!!
If you’re only stumbling on this novelization without prior knowledge of the ridiculous movie from the 80’s then buckle up!! What could go wrong with a security team of robots roaming the mall at night? Absolute chaos! These robots are blood thirsty and can’t differentiate between friend and foe. Sucks for the poor teens and young adults that decide to stay late to party in the mall. So much gore and so much cheese! Just shut your mind off and drift back into the 80’s for this fun quick listen!

Exciting and entertaining!
Chopping Mall: The Novelization by Brian G Berry
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is such a fun and entertaining horror story! This book is based on a 1986 movie, Chopping Mall. (I have not watched the movie.)
The book definitely does well in making the reader feel the reminiscence of 80’s slashers films.
At Park Plaza mall, robots have been hired to
work night security. After the robots short circuit, no one left in the mall is safe!
This is a really fun and quick read. Lots of killing, gore, suspense and excitement!
Thank you to Joe Hempel & Brian G Berry for an audio copy of this fantastic book! Joe Hempel did an amazing job with the narration and he’s my favorite narrator!
*Paper and ecopies of the book will be out November 19th. However, the audiobook is out now! *
*Grab yours!! *
