Great story, well written with good flow. And I like the tease at the end about a possible sequel.
Very nice. I always read knowing that the author is telling a tale. Very nicely done. Looking forward to future posts on Lit. Jim
Best Halloween story ever. I like short stories because I have a short attention span, but I'll have to check out your books on Amazon.
I had to revisit this as Halloween approaches. This would also fit well in the Erotic Horror category. The side characters are sketched out succinctly, and the protagonist is a mystery until the climax. Love this story.
You can feel the climax coming, much as Cthulhu spreads his tentacled mass over his groaning supplicants. Not the correct reference, I know, but it seems to fit. Your characters are well drawn, the oppressive atmosphere and the unexpected lust within Magda all combine for an intensely creepy, intensely satisfying read. Looking forward to more.
This story slides along like a finely honed life, with a little twist at the end for the coup de gras.
