These accursed things haven’t stopped me from thinking. My mind burns in hatred of myself, of these creatures.

This is a short story.The twin girls were dead. This was a fact.

Smashwords book reviews by Jerry McKinney

RoadKill on Nov. 01, 2011

A fun story that will have you scrutinizing the meat on the neighbor's grill. I nice, enjoyable read.
Gerald's Car on Nov. 06, 2011

A bloody good read...and I do mean bloody!
Chocolate-Covered Eyes: A Sampler Of Horror on Dec. 04, 2011

A frightful, yet sometime humorous romp into the world of Ms. Lopez. Her stories will keep you on the edge of your seat as you turn the pages with glee. I recommend this collection for a great evenings reading.
What Happens in Vegas... An Empire of Blood Short Story on Dec. 11, 2011

Great details in the writing, enjoyed reading of the foolish escapade the young ladies endure. They say money is the root of all evil, but I think they found a firmer foundation.
Unleashed: Tail One on Dec. 25, 2011

An enjoyable tale. Lori Lopez uses different POVs to weave this tale of dastardly deeds. One could almost see the cat stealthily strolling through the bushes in this remarkably detailed excursion. The author uses a refreshing wit as the story unfolds and the reader is treated to a summation of the evil feline's indiscretions. It will make you keep an eye on the neighbor's cat and give your dog a good scratch behind the ears. Yeah, Good Dog!
Creep on Jan. 24, 2012

Beware! Lori Lopez has set upon the earth a true menace. Be careful as you walk home! She uses her wide vocabulary to write this horrific and witty tale. I truly enjoyed the journey Ms. Lopez took me on to find out what was the true Creep.

A band of misfit teens who have taken it upon themselves to protect the ambling dead. Does this matter when a loved one is threatened? Find out Lori's answer and hold on to your poking stick!
