Has yet to read anything by Stephen King.  On topic. So far so good. Hauntingly sureal.  Awaits more. |

I have, but I don't see the connection between my writting and his. He uses a ton of descriptions, while I just gloss over everything and let the actions and thoughts of the character run the show. |

True. But style is much more than lengthy discriptions and overlong narratives. It has more to do with the mood and or tone developed. I wouldn't yet consider this terribly dark or intense but it does hold true an underlining creepiness. More specifically, though it doesn't seem so at first things are in fact slowly escalating towards something much more forcible, and unnerving. That usually happens right before all hell breaks lose.
 Haven't read a lot of horror but already seen enough to know.  On the topic of escalation. I've probably said it before but if not, this in my opinion is the best approach when writing scifi and or horror. It sucks to be in a movie and after the first five, ten minutes of screen time nothing is no longer left to the imagination.

Hmmm... nothing is really supposed to be too creepy, yet other than what actually happened to the protagonist. I can promise that it will get much much darker as we go. |

The Tentacle-Flailing Comrade

Very neat stuff, Cabal. I look forward to finding out what happens next. I like how you tell the story almost entirely through the thoughts the character has in the moment. |

Thanks, now if only I could get write it faster, I'm really not much further than through the story than I was back in '05, although there is a portion I'm not ready to release publicly yet. Sad part is this story is massive, so if I keep up the current rate of progress, I'll maybe get done with it by the time I'm 85. |
