Lori Lopez is carving her own unique niche into the mountain of literary history.  No genre can define her.  No voice can imitate her.Begin with the style of Edgar Allen Poe.  Dark with quick traces of wry humor.  Not too short or too long.  Poetic license stretched to the point of breaking.  Delving into levels of human depravity the rest of us would never imagine.Toss in just a pinch of Anne Rice.  Creative mythological creatures and their possible twisted origins.  Good vs evil expressed in completely new ways. Thankfully without being long-winded or including gratuitous, disturbing and ridiculously detailed sex scenes or nonsensical romance.To finish, pour in a generous helping of Alfred Hitchcock's innovative treatment of and incredibly varied subject matter.  In this collection alone we're introduced to small killer animals, demons, zombies, possession, dangerous secrets and more!Now that the mixture is ready, Lori tops it with her special all-original blend of gore, trauma, creative imagery, and a healthy dose of wry insight.If you haven't read Lori Lopez, this sample platter is an excellent place to begin!  Every story has its own unique flavor.  I strongly advise taking at least a bite of each.  Who knows?  Even if you don't like the wings or stuffed shrimp, the fries could be your new favorite!
