    Interesting story, although not that scary. Kind of reminds me of the weeping angels from the Doctor Who series. I don't agree with one of the reviewers concerning the random ...

    Wonderful story you've written. I also like the countdown from the last day of life being the first, to the first day of life being the last. It is also ...

  • Short Story » Fantasy, General Re: Carnival of Monsters

    Yes, I agree with the previous reviewers about the story involving too many facts, leaving little or no spaces for emotional stimulation. There are some action-packed areas which seem too ...

  • Short Story » Horror, Mystery / Suspense Re: Monsters Under the Bed

    This was wonderful. The build-up of suspense, and the fact that this was a child's dilemma added immensely to the magnificence of this piece of work. I think the occurring ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Nightmare

    As the other reviewer said, this is too cliche to be interesting. Most professional writers know very well that the 'only just a dream' premise at the beginning of a ...

  • Short Story » Romantic, Fantasy Re: Vampire Crushes

    Although this was well written (grammatically), the entire thing is still too superficial. The revelation of being a vampire was too abrupt and without proper transition. What was worse was ...

    Well this was quite interesting, and fun to read. Making a popular children's fictional character sound so formal and fun simultaneously was very good. At first I thought that you ...

    This was marvelous. The plot, the style, the description, the characters, all are just well written. At the beginning where you wrote 'wondering where the experiment went wrong', I took ...
