Yes, definitely intense, and you'll be happy to know that while I guessed part of the denouement from your foreshadowing, I got it mostly wrong. Lovely twisty ending.
And the last scene in the theatre (as an longtime theatre lover, empty playhouses always have a sanctified feel to me, like a church) was absolutely gripping. Jangled every last nerve.
I don't read too much "horror" because often it reads very sensationalistic, like the writer's out to shock for the sake of it. This was horrible in a human, rooted, historically plausible way that is infinetly scarier that rubber-masked monsters.
Brava, beldame, brava.
Beverly, I don't think I did.
At any rate, I don't see it in my inbox now. So sorry.
Would you be kind enough to resend? Pwetty please?
I'm loving the inspiration I'm getting from all you Writeristas...
Your profile addy okay, Astarte?
It's teeny. But I'd like to hear what you think.
Yep, Beverly. Profile Addy's good.
I am also slowly doing Bev's critique, but between the breast cancer scare and the push to finish Matty, I got swamped and bogged down.
Astarte, all my stuff has a point to it; the only bit of pure fluff I ever wrote was "Fire Queen", at the specific request of an editor. I always root it in the humanity aspect; it's the only thing that's interesting to me.
I can't wait to read "Weaver."
I can't wait to read Susan's novel.
No, I don't have much else to say right now, but these things needed to be said.
Anne, if you want to scare yourself to death with FFoSM, I'll send you the efile.
