Cruelty

Episode Three

by Edward Lorn

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

Since the first two episodes in this serial were not too long, I decided to go back and reread them so I’d be fresh for this third episode.

It’s funny how much more you get each time you reread a story.

I got more chills and thrills and was thus primed for the third episode. So here we go.

Just like the blurb for this book, you jump all over the place, following this motley crew of characters. I think this is the first story I’ve followed where there are so many unlikables. And one 600 lb. lumbering mess of insanity donning a baby doll mask.

This is where the author’s wicked magic shines. He actually makes me care what happens to these scum buckets. Okay, I didn’t care what happened to them, I was just dreading how bad it would be. Don’t ever relax your guard. Edward delivers bloody violence with gleeful abandon.

I’m a huge fan or horror, whether it be wild creatures trying to eat me, serial killers, supernatural, or paranormal. So, since I’ve already read a bunch of this authors stories and the first couple of episodes of Cruelty, I figured I was well armed, prepared for whatever came out of this authors twisted imagination. And…. I was NOT.

So be warned. Cruelty is for the dedicated horror fans. It’s raw, mind-numbing, and written so visually you want to close your eyes. And I can’t wait for more.

IN THE EXPLOSIVE MID-SEASON FINALE…

With Forgiveness out about town, temptation draws Cruelty out of hiding.

So many playthings. So little time.

Edward Lorn is an American horror author presently residing in the southeast United States. He enjoys storytelling, reading, and writing biographies in the third person. Once upon a time, during a session of show and tell, a seven-year-old Edward Lorn shared with his class that his baby brother had died over the weekend. His classmates, the teacher included, wept while he recounted the painful tragedy of having lost a sibling. Edward went home that day and found an irate mother waiting for him. Edward’s teacher had called to express her condolences. This was unfortunate, as Edward had never had a baby brother. With advice given to her by a frustrated teacher, Edward’s mother made him start writing all of his lies down. The rest, as they say, is history. Edward Lorn and his wife are raising two children, along with a handful of outside cats and a beagle named Dot. He remains a liar to this day. The only difference is, now he’s a useful one.
