On October 5th of last year, the
escalators at West Edmonton Mall shut down simultaneously due to what was

day few people, if any, understand what really happened during the period
when that area of the mall was cut off from the rest of the world.
My name is Christopher Munroe, and this is the story of what happened to

things I had to endure, and the lengths I went to, to survive... a broken escalator.
Broken Escalator is a surrealist horror novel by Christopher Munroe,
where mechanical failure spirals quickly out of control and human nature is
