Episode Five

Genre: Horror

MY REVIEW

Right out of the gate Twon and Ollie pull a ‘stupid criminal’ stunt. I can’t believe the author let these losers last this long.

Poor Innis is stuck in a hideous nightmare, but she’d rather endure that than wake up to Cruelty. Once she enters the shack, she just might need to rethink that.

Forgiveness is feeding off of Frank, Natalie, and Nell. Poor Nell. She’s already in a meltdown before this happens.

Randy, along with his sidekick Merlo the cowardly dog is driving around in his squad car, trying to get a grip on the FUBAR at the station.

With Cruelty coming out to play and Forgiveness roaming loose, things get uglier and uglier.

This is the best episode yet. The horror is relentless and it just keeps coming, wave after wave of it. And the story is really starting to come together. It’ll be very interesting when everyone meets in the middle.

Cruelty Episodes 1 thru 5 is now available as an Omnibus. You can get 5 times the horror in one reading. I recommend you give it a go. It’s priced to steal.  Horror like this makes you feel alive.

5 STARS

Synopsis

Episode Five.

IN THE EXPLOSIVE MID-SEASON FINALE…

Nell Morgan, Trooper Natalie Holden, and State Investigator Markum find the fragile thread of reality unspooling.

Things go real bad, real quick as it becomes painfully obvious to Twon and Ollie that escaping Kerr County Medical Center unscathed will be a task far more difficult than they could have imagined.

Still reeling from his run-in with Forgiveness, Sheriff Randy Miser is called to a situation in progress. Can this day get any worse?

With Forgiveness out about town, Cruelty finds temptation’s call all too seductive.

So many playthings. So little time.

About Edward Lorn and where to stalk him.
Image of Edward Lorn

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.

  20. Sherri says:

    I love everything E. writes. I’ve read the first four books of Cruelty, but I haven’t started on the fifth one yet. I really need to go back and re-read the first four before I embark on the final one (and get caught up on my reviews). Or better yet, I need the latest edition that has all five installments on it. My messed up, old brain needs help! lol

    • fuonlyknew says:

      I did that. Read from 1 to 5. By the fourth episode I was freaking and by the time Forgiveness got done with me I was floored. I can’t even imagine what’s coming next. E may need us to sign a waiver, “Read at your own risk!”
