Ms. Vaughn is the correct author to check into for those readers who love playful, if gory at times, stories buried deep in the supernatural. There is plenty of action, plenty of gore, and a fairly good story behind it all to be found in KITTY'S HOUSE OF HORRORS.

I loved the sense of humor that came shining through, and the author's obvious delight with her subject matter. She has a good grasp of lingual finesse, and clearly loves to write. However, I do think that if she had a bit more ambition, she could "break out" into hard cover, perhaps into a best seller.

The story is fine, yet I believe she could have made the reader care more about the charactors. The spark of vivid attention is simply not there.

Good luck, Ms. Vaughn. You have the key -- go see what's behind the mysterious golden door marked "Best Seller"!
