A moral dilemma that i hope never to face
"The road kill god puts you in the drivers seat but Jay takes the wheel. The story is exceptionally well written with vivid imagery that brings the whole story to life, then at the blink of an eye serves you with the question of ending one."
Terrifying
"Loved it. Every single minute of it. I empathized with the character and felt the apprehension of hurting an animal. The descriptions were magnificent and I felt like I did not only empathized with Dan but that I was him in the middle of a deserted road. This was just...terrifyingly amazing."
The Roadkill God
"An awesome read, full of grotesque imagery brilliantly worded, along with the ominous, haunting beauty of the landscape, the deer and the Stag himself. The protagonist’s reactions and interactions are both believable and entertaining, a great range of emotions on show, and the story has a great sense of melancholy to it, the hideous ‘monster’ having an air of solemn duty as it comes and goes. A few descriptions do feel a little overly wordy and drawn-out than necessary, maybe could be improved by shortening them, adding some contractions just to keep the pace brisk, but overall a great little story."
Extremely vivid writing
"The Roadkill God is an exciting read that certainly could be expanded upon more but is also perfect just as a one-off story in and of itself. Every paragraph is jam-packed with descriptive language and all the little details you could want to feel like you're really there. It's also an interesting take on horror being that a lot of the gore and terrifying imagery comes less from a slasher or generic monster but only from the descriptions of a doe struck by a car and the god itself. It shows a tremendous amount of strength to set the atmosphere and tone without resorting to mindless violence and quick deaths. The god itself is an extremely captivating creature in the way it is described and immediately paints an elegant and disturbing picture in your mind's eye. The only criticism I can pay to the story is that some of the sentences are overly long. None of them are necessarily grammatically incorrect, but I know that can be hang up for many people and was merely something I noted. But, all in all, I'd consider The Roadkill God to be one of the better short horror tales I've read in quite a while. Outstanding work."

"When I read works like yours I realize how far I have to go to be a good writer. I can tell that you have been writing for years and years, unlike me who started only a few years ago. I don't care much for roadkill, but your main character makes me feel like I should care more. We build roads through their homes and run them over without thinking much of it, and that's not right."
A real experience
"I really enjoyed this short story, Dan's character was believable, and the plot was thrilling. It felt realistic, while only made it more intense and readable. Nice work. "
