Sorry I didn't read this before Halloween, but close enough. It was creepy and perfect for this darkening season.

Stephen, AKA Sir Stephen of King, would approve. Or in the words of another pop cultural treasure : " IT'S PEOPLE ! ". Been YEARS since I last viewed Soylent Green.

David, that story was one wild Halloween ride. The character development was excellent, and Gary was a very mysterious character himself. For a bit, I thought he lived in Hawthorne house. The mysterious part of him didn't prepare you for his becoming Bronwen's next snack. Bravo!

Your storytelling in Ghoulfriend deftly captures the reader’s attention with its vivid imagery and well-paced narrative. Gary’s curiosity and Bronwen’s cunning play off each other brilliantly, leading to a climax that is both darkly humorous and chilling. It’s a masterful tale that showcases your talent for creating immersive, unsettling fiction. Brilliant!
