Terror in a small town.  That’s what “Lois Holl’r” is.  I wanted to write something set in Fall, hopefully I’ve captured the essence of the season well enough.  It’s a story I tried to write several months ago, but I just couldn’t get it.  Finally, last month, I think I got it.

“Lois Holl’r” stems from those things that have influenced me, such as schoolyard mythologies and that ability we, mostly, only have as children, which is to find mystery in our backyards.  Most every story I write is like a little movie in my head, and this one is no different.  I wanted to write something that reflected all those wonderful B-movies I watched during my formative years.  I tried to write it in that same fun vein.

Is this a good B-movie?  I like it.  It follows the same territory as “Mallet Man”, but I like this much more.  “Mallet Man” is kind of here just for filler; what I set out to do with that story, I feel I’ve somewhat accomplished with “Lois Holl’r”.  At least to my own personal tastes.  And, as always, forgive the typos (tried to catch them), and also any assaults on the English language I have committed, both accidentally and intentionally.

Hope you enjoy it.  Happy Halloween.
