About the Author

Growing up in a small storybook Wisconsin town, Lori R. Lopez would hike a good distance to and from school passing many a fence. Her imagination might tend to wander with her, and wonder what lay on the other side, coming up with strange answers. At times she actually encountered something or other, such as a wee shivering bat hanging upside-down, which she stopped to warm in her hands and worry over. At times her walks to school were epic battles against the elements: up a tall hill coated with ice; along frozen glazed sidewalks that caused injuries to her knees when she slipped and fell. At times she experienced bullying of one sort and another. Lori walked her dog, walked to the Library, walked to South Woods when little with a paper sack of stuffed animals to run away . . . Once she walked down to the edge of a lake and thought she saw a Sea Monster. Then there were the times that she rode a bike. Through it all, she had monsters on her brain, lurking in her head. They couldn’t catch up to her bike, except when she had an accident and broke her front teeth in Second Grade. That day, a monster blocked the road, she is certain. (Hindsight means making things up in retrospect, because a monster is a much better excuse than a big tree branch. Then again, maybe the bough was deliberately dropped by an evil tree spirit!) Nonetheless, the worst monsters she met as a child were human, and they didn’t necessarily hide behind a fence. She herself has been hiding behind fences for years, along with some very fine company — two sons and an assortment of semi-feral cats they adopted. Not all fences are frightful, so please do not develop a complex after reading this creepy tale.

Editorial Reviews

If you like stories of revenge and hatred with a little bit of regurgitation thrown in for good measure, this story is for you. There is action in this horror from the first page all the way through until the final sentence. This is also one of the stories where you want to feel bad for the thing doing the killing. I think this is one of those few stories where you want just the right kind of people to read it and have to spend a while looking over their shoulders . . .

Lori Lopez has created a vignette of several moments and has brewed them so masterfully, brought them home and served them up in this fresh little story entitled Creep. A few of the pieces could well serve on their own if brought to further fruition, but together work just as beautifully. What a talented lady.

Amazon Reviewer - Malina Roos

Lori does it again with a short, but packed story! Not her usual fragrant style, this time she just slams you into the action... or into the jaws of the monster.... so much munching was going on I forgot to eat my lunch! a really brilliant read that leaves you rooting for the monster, well it did me anyway!

Beware! Lori Lopez has set upon the earth a true menace. Be careful as you walk home! She uses her wide vocabulary to write this horrific and witty tale. I truly enjoyed the journey Ms. Lopez took me on to find out what was the true Creep.
