4.0 out of 5 stars After Three After March 16, 2012

This was the very first book I've read by Edward Lorn and it won't be my last.
Three After was completely entertaining and thought provoking from beginning to end. I loved every page. I was angry, sad and filled with compassion with the first story. Shocked and surprised with the second. For the last story I found myself puzzled, grossed out and laughing for the third. Yes, I laughed about the last horror story. NOT because the story was laughable...it was actually because I could see the main character as she went about her tasks. Even though it was definitely a "yuck" moment, her reasoning was relatable.

After Three After, I am officially an Edward Lord fan and I look forward to reading Bay's End. I can't wait to see what else makes Edward's brain tick :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent short story collection. September 22, 2012

By Rich Meyer

Very impressed with this collection. Edward Lorn is definitely got the chops to be a horror writer. All three of these stories read like adult versions of Tales of the Crypt, with proper twists to them that M. Night Shyamalan would give his right arm for. Recommended reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars How Do You Like Your Horror? June 18, 2012

I have three reviews for you today, all from Three After by Edward Lorn. I am now a huge fan of his writing.
If you like your horror twisted and dripping in blood, these three tales will give you that and then some. I will give you fair warning that Edward writes very descriptive, almost visual scenes, and they ain't pretty.

World's Greatest Dad

This is every father's, hell, everybody's worst nightmare.
Kimmy is gone. While Carl was trick or treating with his daughter, somebody snatched her. He was only distracted for a moment, but that was all it took.
The last time Carl saw Kimmy, she was talking to a fat man sitting in a rocking chair wearing a wolf costume. Now the chair is empty and Kimmy is gone.
They found Kimmy, but it was too late. Her body was discovered in a garbage bin, thrown away like so much trash.
Carl is consumed by guilt and grief. The police investigation is getting nowhere. There is no consolation to be found.
Carl's friend David inadvertently gives him a cup of coffee, the cup made by Kimmy. It read World's Gratest Dad, and yes that's how she spelled it.
Not able to bear it, Carl asks for a different cup. As he passes it to David the words on the cup change.
Save Her
He was the only one that saw it. Believing it was a message from his daughter, Carl uses the messages that appear on the cup to try to save "Her" and find his daughters killer.
This is a story of redemption, betrayal and vengeance. What wouldn't you do for your child?

An Affair To Remember

Jimmy has crossed the line. His rage at finding out his wife was having an affair, and with a jerk like Ray, pushed him over the edge.
What happens to Ray is horrific, but he has only himself to blame.... Should have kept his pants zipped and his mouth shut.
After Jimmy brutally tortures and kills his wife and her lover, things get really bizarre.
Maybe Jimmy should have just walked away from the whole sordid mess.

Snuggles

She seems like such a sweet girl. Elizabeth loves cats and she has three, Cuddles, Snuggles and Bumbles. Her favorite is Snuggles.
One day, her Dad lets Snuggles outside. These are indoor cats and are not supposed to be allowed out because ot the road.
Yep, you guessed it. Her mom found Snuggles in the road and told Elizabeth that he was now in Heaven.
Elizabeth was heartroken and what she did to get Snuggles back is beyond belief.
This story goes from shocking to stomach-turning in a blink. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

I do love my horror. I am now reading Bay's End, Edwards debut novel and will then be reading his newest release Dastardly Bastard. Read more ›

Edward Lorn is a local writer and I was interested by his grasp of the paranormal. Although not a believer it is fun to read it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some good short stories February 23, 2013

By M. McRoberts

Three great short stories coming from Edward Lorn. I enjoyed reading all three. World's Greatest Dad was the best of the three (and the longest by far). Snuggles was a bit disturbing, but real entertaining. An Affair to Remember was my least favorite, but was still a decent enough short story.

Overall a good read and worth the time.

I liked the first story, it was a quick and enjoyable read. The second and third stories seemed to be written by a junior high school student trying to write a scary story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tear jerking suspense thriller May 15, 2013

What can I say. This book was a ride, but I wanted to cry for the characters. The subject matter is the most painful. Missing children hit us all too deep. This was well written and hopeful, even though it hurt to read.

Rooted for the destruction of the bad guy all the way through and was suprised at the twist at the end. Normally I see that stuff comming, but I think I was so tied into the main character, I was as blinded by the situation as he was.

well done.
