Sam Hain. All Hallows eve
"Great short story. Fast paced and nice characters, looking forward to the next few books and seeing the relationship between them develop "
Just enough to pique interest
"There's not quite enough to give a complete review on the overall plot line. It is interesting, the writer has a great style which is descriptive and keeps the story easily moving forward. As an advertisement of sorts for the rest of the books, definitely 5/5."
Clever, Intriguing
"First, I have to point out the cleverness behind the title, since "Samhain" is another name for Halloween, and it seems that this mysterious Van Helsing look-alike goes by that name (though clearly pronounced differently from the festival, which I'm glad to see you pointed out in Chapter Three). I also like how you incorporated some actual known lore/beliefs, of how the veil between our world and the world of demons, spirits, and whatnot is at its thinnest on Halloween night. :) The waking dreams, the hallucinations or visions Alice experienced upon waking, and on her way to and from work a few days later was really well done. The details were realistic, relatable; I've had plenty of waking dreams (also during times of high stress) and you described them perfectly. That knowledge of where you are when you have them, yet seeing all of these events play out before your eyes. Alice's fear was palpable, and so far, she's shaping up to be a very believable, even likeable character. The writing is done well; I can tell that this is a story I would very much enjoy in its entirety. Though it carries a lot of familiar concepts, I can't help feeling this will take a very unexpected turn into unknown territory--or at least lesser known. ;) I'll certainly have to check it out on the site mentioned. Definitely a fascinating read. :)"
