Lovers Living, Lovers Dead is far and away one of the most unique and clever horror novels, with its emphasis on characterization and atmosphere, rather than horrific imagery and shock. This is not to say that Lortz doesn't shock, but when he does create grotesque images, they are more poetic than horrific, as in the scene where thousands of butterflies invade the household and cover Christine like clothing.
