Summary: Vintage Bloch, a Great Read for His Fans & Others
Review: "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.

Summary: Mildy entertaining
Review: I have no idea why I read Robert Bloch's novels. The only good one I've actually read was PSYCHO II. Lori is just the same as the others. We have a nice opening and then a speedily descending middle. The ending really wasn't that great, as the identity of the killer wasn't very surprising. Also, none of the killings were that spectacular, but rather dull :)
