An
assortment of the weird and wonderfully grim are displayed for your fear and
amusement. Whether you like quiet horror, humorous horror, stark horror,
monstrous in-your-face horror, you’ll find what scares you here.
Twenty-six diverse tales and clusters of flash stories or drabbles fit together
between dark poems and brief witfully pithy essays on women writing Horror like
pieces of a macabre jigsaw puzzle devised by a single madwoman, Lori R. Lopez.
Among
the “Odds And Ends” . . . a devilish jack-in-the-box helps a young woman get
even. Two little girls face-off in “Nemeses”. A very old baby is
released from its jar at a museum in “Jar Baby”. Spaghetti comes to life
in “Bloodwyrm”. A trainride takes one fellow on a harrowing journey
toward “Fate”. A man and woman are reunited by the same curse that tore
them apart in “The Fruit Of Thy Womb”. A weakling finds a dreadful
“Cereal Box Surprise” at the bottom of the package. Ladies play a lethal
hand of cards in “Mindless”. A couple wakes up to discover an enormous
cobweb filling the house in “Spider Soup”. Falling asleep could end the
world in “Awake”, while painting portraits takes a nightmarish turn for an
artist in “Deathbed”. A girl watches her friends disappear on a darkly
sinister beach at “The Vanishing Point”, and much much more. The print
edition features peculiar illustrations by the author.

About
the author:
Lori
R. Lopez wears many hats, including Author and Artist (she designs her book
covers as well as illustrating most of her tomes). Add to that Musician,
Songwriter, and Actress. Not to mention, an Activist against abuse as well as
for conservation and animal rights. She has never been what you could call Normal,
except perhaps Abby Normal. But that’s not very normal at all. And there is no
telling what might crawl out of her head, which is why she generally wears
corks in her ears to prevent escapage. Sorry, that’s a perfect example. Please
just step over it and don’t, whatever you do, look back. Her works span
multiple categories including novels, short stories, and poetry in a blend of
genres that range from very dark to extremely light and witty. Lori’s book
titles include: Out-Of-Mind Experiences, Chocolate-Covered Eyes, Dance Of The
Chupacabras, An Ill Wind Blows, The Fairy Fly, The Queen Of Hats. She pens a
humorous and darkly horrific monthly column called “Poetic Reflections” at
www.fairyflyentertainment.com. Fine Print: The author unapologetically takes
pride in creatively reshaping the rules of writing and genres when it suits her
style. She is known for poetic prose and uncommon terms (some of the words are
admittedly made up). If you try to put her in a box, she will simply climb out.
You have been warned.
