DOLOR: Books I-V
"Dolor" is a creepy little town that you won't be able to leave. It's the kind of place you can't forget. It's the kind of place where anything can happen. It's the kind of place where evil doesn't just die. It's the kind of place that nightmares are born to live forever…
In October 2009, Rick Florino opened up Dolor to the "real" world with his first novella " Lila | Book I." At the beginning of Lila, FBI Agent Jeffries goes to Dolor to investigate a fire. The town's been burned to the ground. One lone house stands—charred to Hell on the outside, but fine on the inside. Within those walls, Jeffries finds ten small diaries. Each diary is written by a different denizen of "Dolor," delving into some sort of darkness. The first diary is "Lila | Book I."
Enter the world of Rick Florino's "Dolor", you'll never be the same. Succumb to the tales of "Lila," "Chrissy," "Arielle," "Decker," and "Cassie" in " Books I-V."
Acclaim for DOLOR has been unanimous. "Lila makes for a damn good read...one outstanding piece of fiction."--Matt Molgaard, Fangoria (3.5 out of 4 Stars)
"Horror fiction has put a few cities on the Castle Rock, Serenity Falls, Orangefield. Add Dolor to that list."--Rod Lott, Bookgasm.com
"A heartbreaking, horrifying and honest examination of a damaged psyche, true violence, drug addiction and love unreturned...a horror masterpiece..."--LAX Magazine
"If the rest of the volumes are even half as good as Lila, we're in for a huge treat..."--BC, Bloody-Disgusting.com
"Rick Florino is a writer that can be compared to Stephen King...He was put on this earth to tell stories and that is exactly what he is doing."-- Dana Feldman, The Examiner
"What this book has done to us is it?s taken us on a ride ala early X-Files..."--Yvette Kelley, Shallow Graves Magazine
"Author Rick Florino has the chops to handle the almost Gothic atmosphere of his ambitious ten-part tale."--Elaine Lamkin, DreadCentral.com
"DOLOR is right up Crypt Magazine's creepy crawly alley! Mental illness, forces beyond the grave, and downright evil as Hell! What more do you want?"--David Necro, Crypt Magazine
"Welcome to the mind of author Rick Florino, a twisted place to visit. His writing style is close to the style of Chuck Palahniuk or Tom Robbins, strange, dark and witty." -- Sarah Boger, BandVibe

OMFG!!! I just finished it today! It took me all of first hour! I love how everyone's story intertwine with each other. I was so mad when Cassie ended because I need to know what happens in the next diary! Only one thing concerned me...why is it pink?
