edit data

A fan of all things fantastical and frightening, Shannon Lawrence writes in her dungeon when her minions allow, often accompanied by her familiar, Cleo. She writes primarily horror and fantasy. Her stories can be found in several anthologies and magazines, including Space and Time Magazine, Dark Moon Digest, and The Literary Hatchet, and her short story collection Blue Sludge Blues & Other Abominations is now available.

When she's not writing, she's hiking through the wilds of Colorado and photographing her magnificent surroundings. Though she often misses the Oregon coast, the majestic and rugged Rockies are a sight she could never part with. Besides, in Colorado there's always a place to hide a body or birth a monster.

Another good one by Ann Rule. At times it was repetitive, but that's really my only complaint. I liked that she spent a little time on the victims she had more information on, that she gave us their backgrounds and humanized them. That's important to ...more

Little builds this one up a bit slowly, with nice touches of creepiness and a sense that things aren't right, all without anything really extreme happening. Then the book shoots into craziness, full human breakdown into animalistic behavior, and the ...more

I liked the main character, a girl with determination and a quiet dignity. The voice was well done. Interesting idea, having her mad scientist father using butterflies to save her delicate bones. A fairly quick read, with plenty to keep the reader en ...more

Incredibly well done psychological horror. The story itself is quiet. So quiet that that's part of the horror. There's no real violence, and no fear of it once you're far enough in. Which doesn't matter, because no violence is needed. The reader hang ...more
