Thanks for taking a look at it for me, K. River. I appreciate your review...
Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
Nicely done.
I admire the imagination you put into such short pieces.
I was a little confused as another person put out Tiny Terror stories and it was about a pumpkin story also.
But they are different.
Nicely done as only the master can do

Really, Barb? I don't recall posting anything about pumpkins in my other Tiny Terrors book. Maybe I did, my memory is not what it used to be, lol.
Anyhow, thanks for your thoughtful comments just the same. I appreciate your R&R very much... ~Dean

NONONONO it was not you. I read another one from another author that is doing a tiny terrors set also and both were on pumpkins just today. But both were different...of course. Just thought was funny I got two in a row and yet they were so different

That is funny! :) And it's nowhere near Halloween yet, lol...

Comment from Megalips
This is pretty scary stuff, here, Dean. I like the flow of your pen and descriptive phrases. The alliteration in your writing adds to the mystery and fear. So, what are you doing? Creating a book of small horror stories? What's the max on words...do you have this under some sort of contest or is there a specific place you enter these?

I asked that they be 500 words or less, and of a horror/thriller theme. You simply go to the book where I have it posted, and click on "Add Chapter To Book" tab. Then, submit your entry. No, there is no contest involved. Just a level playing field for anyone who wishes to share their writing talents with the rest of us. Give it a try. I'd like to see what you come up with.
Thanks very much for your review and interest in this series. I really appreciate your comments, Megalips...:)

One can only hope... ;) ~Dean

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
I always love your work, and I'm glad you aren't giving up adding your own quaint and vastly morbid chapters. You know you set the scary standard, as it were.
"Jeanie shivered. It had little to do with the chill in the air." - I'm right there with you, Jeanie!
Forever your fan,
Rhonda

Thanks, Rhonda. The way things are going with contributions, there would be no new material being written into this book. Where are all the Stephen Kings when you need one? Oh, wait...they're making real money doing the exact same things that we are, lol.
I very much appreciate your interest in these stories, and you!

I can appreciate your work from afar, my friend! And as far as Stephen King, I'm sure he hangs out in sites like this from time to time to train up the newbies. Keep those stories coming!

Dean;
+ I truly savored this writing very much as it was a direct emotional jaunt for me down the road of a terrifying experience. One in which I remember being in a graveyard trying to collect a Christmas tree and being caught by very peculiar type of person and drab and tattered clothing but that's just another story.
+ The suspense was killing me in your story, whether or not, or just how she would be taking care of by the man with the ax. And what were those orbs anyway. Besides, thinking that they were pumpkins dripping of blood.
+ Your imagination was truly resourceful and very inventive and ingeniously creative. And the pictures alone were enough to send chills down my spine. I'm glad I didn't read this at night, for I'm not really good at frightening things. This is an excellent piece of writing.
+ Thank you for sharing and posting this Dean and may the good Lord be with you always my friend.

Nicely told. You carve some interesting sentences with structuring variety, so it has a nice ebb and flow to the tale that is told. I also liked the mood you know how to create, one somber, and soft and shadowy without charging in and powering down with torpedo words. Stan

CHILLING, My daughter in law would be thrilled. She is Halloween nutz. Clever, hair standing up on back of the neck type of prose. I would SO much rather read about it than see the gore on tv and movie. Well written. This line is my favoite: 'Waning sunlight glinted from a bloodied ax grasped in a meaty fist -- the last vestiges of sunlight" GOOD JOB

Comment from Just2Write
Well, it's a sure-fire truth that I won't be listening to no hunch-backed fella telling me about short-cuts.
So nice of the guy with the axe to paint all those heads the same colour. One shudders, never mind shivers to try and figure out what happened to the bodies. I guess the hunch-back guy gets hungry...
Another little shocker, Dean. Perfect for your macabre little book.
Rose.
