Respectable concept to a story of a classic horror style. "Re imagination" and "Mashup" would be what I perceive of this story being in similar relation of Alvin Schwartz's 'Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark' with the short story Headlights, and having a unique twist to the backstory at the end of the writing in which I thought of 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'.
Quite a few grammatical errors and having the story flow fast threw me off a bit- didn't really get to sink my mind into the story until the ending with backstory of it all which was pretty cool to read.
woah it was a live stream this whole time
While literally nothing but known & oldschool horrormovie cliche, this story is entertaining, because the author makes it a worthy read.
The characters are believable and we get enough info to follow the story. The story flow is also unbroken, albeit a bit lengthy, which takes quite some writing skill (no loss of what is going on & what already happened).
The ending is also classic, a classic scorned nowadays, but being older myself: Such were the writing standards & expectations, some decades ago.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow! That was a great story. I found Sheila's attitude towards the Shaman most amusing. Well done.
Fine story that carefully builds to an important moral.
Wow!!! That was awesome. A chilling cliffhanger. Well done.
Well written mystery with an amazing ending.
Very macabre. Although, I did wonder how the narrator gets to tell us his story if he dies in that attic? Imagine: he styled a writing implement out of a skull fragment and wrote his story in blood using the £10 notes, in hope that someone gets to the location before the mysterious stranger does
