Vintage Bloch, a Great Read for His Fans & Others

"Lori" is a vintage thriller/horror novel by the master of clear, matter-of-fact horror prose and unexpected black humor. It helps to be familiar with the works of what other writers in the genre have called the "clown prince" of horror, because the leavening of humor, sometimes subtle, sometimes not, really spices the mix. The heroine comes home from college to L.A. after her parents have been killed when their house burned down, and right away, strange things start happening...a psychic calls to warn her of danger, her boyfriend shows up and seems to behave strangely, she discovers something very strange indeed in an old high school yearbook, and in the thick of the story, Lori begins to wonder not only what happened to her parents, but who she really is. And someone seems to be threatening her life! A terrific read all alone at night with plenty of hot chocolate (or whatever) at hand.

great. a real mystery of its own kind.

Lori comes home from graduation only to find her parents dead and her house burnt down. Now Lori is out to find the truth about her parents death and to find out who she really is. Trapped beneath an old abandoned hospital lies the truth but can Lori find it alone.
