This Week's Travel Reading, Shocktober Edition

If you know the name Robert Bloch at all, it's likely either because you've seen Psycho (he wrote the screenplay for it) or The House That Dripped Blood (ditto). But Bloch wrote almost three dozen novels in his career, Lori being near the end of that run.

Originally published in 1989 (and, as far as I can tell, never reprinted since), Lori is the story of the title character who, according to the blurb on Amazon.com, "is plunged into a nightmare of supernatural madness and violence as the birth mother Lori never knew reaches out from beyond the grave to claim her daughter's body as her own and to consign Lori's soul to eternal damnation."

So...light and happy reading, then.

Good to know.
