The House That Watches

"The vivid and unsettling imagery pulls readers into the world of the haunted house. From the pool of blood and writhing insects to the eerie doppelgänger with its unnatural grin, the descriptions are hauntingly vivid, heightening the tension and fear. While Celestine’s actions and emotions are portrayed effectively, her personality beyond the immediate events is somewhat vague. Providing more insight into her background or motivations could make her even more relatable.chilling and thought-provoking story that skillfully blends supernatural elements with psychological depth. Its atmospheric tension and unique take on the haunted house trope make it memorable. With slight refinements to character development and the resolution, this story could be elevated to an even higher level of impact. Overall, it is a hauntingly beautiful tale of courage, identity, and the power of facing one’s darkest fears."

Welcome to Inkitt, Velvet!

"The House That Watches is the author’s first published work on Inkitt, and they’ve done something quite entertaining. The writing style was awesome; for a starter in here, they’ve done a great job! The premise was interesting and full of potential, but it felt too quickly resolved and rushed; the way I see it, this could’ve been an entire novel rather than a short story. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this book, and I’m sure you will too 😉!"
