express connect-redis not working

I'm trying to use express session 'connect-redis' for first time. Here is my code:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(express);
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.session({ store: new RedisStore, secret: 'lolcat' }));
app.get('/logging', function(req, res) {
    if (req.session.logged) {
        res.send('Welcome back!');
    } else {
        req.session.logged = true;
        res.send('Welcome!');
    }
});
app.listen(8888);

When I try to start the server through command line, it shows error:

RadisStore.prototype._proto_= Store.prototype;
TypeError: Cannor read property 'prototype' of undefined;

That is 'Store' is undefined. What is the wrong with my code?

You forgot the parenthesis:

app.use(express.session({ store: new RedisStore(), secret: 'lolcat' }));

First. But secondly, you need to add options (https://github.com/visionmedia/connect-redis):

app.use(session({ store: new RedisStore({
  client: An existing redis client object you normally get from redis.createClient(),
  host: Redis server hostname,
  port: Redis server portno,
  ttl: Redis session TTL in seconds,
  db: Database index to use,
  pass: Password for Redis authentication,
  prefix: Key prefix defaulting to "sess:",
  url: String that contains connection information in a single url (redis://user:pass@host:port/db),
}), secret: 'keyboard cat' }))
