What is your opinion?
A nice little piece of horror flash fiction
"This story does a lot of things good horror fiction should do. It's tight and focused, it calls back to an earlier part of the narrative to deliver a chilling punchline (so THAT'S where the masks come from) and it's strong on visceral descriptions. The only thing that brought it down were a few punctuation and spelling errors, plus it could use a stronger hook. Otherwise a personal fave from an Inkitt author."
Back stabbing!
"Such an unexpected end. I was looking forward to seeing the end and I was not disappointed. Scary end."
Creep factor runs high
"When I read an ending to a story such as this and my eyes get as big as silver dollars, I know it was worth my time. Well done."
"When They Come Alone"
"Brenden, nicely done....keeps readers attention..mine......even though fast and to the point, I hope you will expand your story to a full blown novel..........good writing...keep producing your stories...and let the world hear from you more often......... william elliott"
So eerie
"I was waiting to see where this would go and it shocked me quite a bit when I found out the true nature of the masks. I love how it all appeared so innocent right up until the end, it twists what you think of them and really adds to the surprise. I normally hate horror, honestly I'm sure why I actually decided to read this because I stay away from the stuff, but I loved this because it wasn't chocked full of suspense and terror and gore and I think this is a great bit of horror for people like me. I absolutely loved it really."
Concise and Creepy
"I liked this quite a bit, and I am always impressed with effective concise horror stories.. I suspected the secret behind the masks, but the execution was nice and subtle, just one line at the very end. The short length of the story works to its advantage, and you show just enough of the main character to raise some chilling questions that set the imagination to work.. Good job!"
Predictable, but incredible
"The story at first glance was surprisingly short. I was curious on what sort of horror you could draw from something so short, and I'm actually quite pleased with that you managed to draw out. Although the ending was quite predictable, with the person giving the candy taking faces off solo trick-or-treaters, the way you wrote it gave it that slightly haunting undertone-it wasn't a quick=paced ending that raises adrenaline, but instead it was the same cool and relaxed paced the killer maintained throughout the entire story, giving it a more chilly ending. All in all, amazing story! I really enjoyed it-the length too, was just right. Keep up the good work!"
