Decent little story!

It is difficult to write short stories I have concluded. Both from my personal experience as well as from the reading of other authors work. Thus, when finding stories that are short and enjoyable; it's a hit!

Nifty little scary story

Really worth a listen. Enjoyed the ghost hunter's part especially. Compact, a lot of spooky-ness in a little package.

What did he do?

I really do love this tell but ill go insane if the author never tells me what the houses orginal owner did

Meh

Needs to have more of a punch to it with the scary creepy stuff.....nothing special just Meh

Meh

It had promise. It did not follow through. An unspecified horror has its place, has quite a well deserved place when the allusion is done nicely. A well described horror likewise has its place. Neither happened here. One of them should have, whether a well alluded to imagined horror or a well described monstrosity. Instead, a vague horror without much place in the story (what was the entity from, how was it formed or called, how did this relate to that?) and not enough story to support that which was left unsaid. It took some very familiar tropes, slapped them together, didn't use enough of one thing or another to build anything novel or even familiarly exciting, and it was delivered in a formless 'plap'. Turned me off to the whole collection.
