Cruelty
Episode Four
by Edward Lorn
Genre: Horror
MY REVIEW
Here’s the low down on Episode Four.
Ollie and Twon are out to get William Longmire.
Trooper Tom Morgan is still alive but in a coma.
Randy finds an unlikely partner in Merlo the cowardly dog.
You get to meet Momma.
You get a reprieve from Cruelty, but Forgiveness is prowling the pages. There are no words I can say to describe Forgiveness except….run, hide.
At first, I was tensed up, waiting for Cruelty to make a horrible entrance. But once Forgiveness entered the picture I forgot about Cruelty. Well, not completely. I knew the author was great at ‘shock and horror.’ But Forgiveness is just so into the out of.
I had a laugh out loud moment when I caught myself humming a little dittie from my childhood, ‘The Worms crawl in, the worms crawl out..’
Mr. Lorn delivers another skin crawling episode. As I prepare for Episode Five, the mid-point in this serial, I can’t help but wonder, what’s he going to pull out of his hat next.

Stop back by on Wednesday, June 11th for my review of
Cruelty: Episode 5
CRUELTY is a serial novel in ten parts.
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, 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.
