About Myself: I'm a 30-something living in North Carolina. I write for fun, and am looking for some critiques.

My literary heros include Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, and E.A. Poe. If you are looking for a really good short story, check out Dean Koontz's "Kittens" from his book Strange Highways. Also, check out Raymond Carver's "Little Things" (aka "Popular Mechanics"). And, if you can find it, a short called "The Old Black Hat" by Gary Raisor. Classic.

Also, for reading material, I enjoy comic books. Not only the Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men variety, but also Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, and Non-Sequitor. Some good reading right there, I tell you.

Title article: The Tall Tales Of Chris
Date: 2008-07-16 18:51:04

So-So. There were a lot of spelling errors, and the story didn't quite flow. Not only that, but I found out that it makes me just as uncomfortable to read a conversation between two men in bathroom stalls as it does to have a conversation with a man when I'm in a bathroom stall. Yeesh.

Title article: Day of Revelation
Date: 2008-07-16 18:44:59

This was an incredibly well told story, very detailed and imaginitive. I don't necessarily agree with nillx that the end of the world is a time for nookie, especially among teenagers. lol. But, the story was interesting and it flowed nicely.

Title article: Why
Date: 2008-07-15 16:24:05

I'm with June on this one. Very dark and foreboding at the beginning, and then the last for lines are brighter and more simple, like a ray of hope in a storm of desolation. Very well done.

Title article: Lights, Camera, Action.
Date: 2008-07-15 16:20:20

This was a fascinating short story. It was well written, well detailed, and very interesting. This is one that you should seriously consider having published in a magazine somewhere. Excellent job!

Title article: Because It's There
Date: 2008-07-15 14:57:35

This was a well told story, and reminded me of being a kid and walking through the woods not too far from our house. I didn't have any cool ex-racetrack experiences, but my memory is full of my own follies. Good job.

Title article: Judas Cradle
Date: 2008-07-15 14:50:16

I was also hooked until the end, and then felt sadness for his situation. I can't imagine what that must be like, nor do I ever want to find out. 
I also think the language could have been a little cleaner. Other than that it was a well written story.

Title article: The City of Luke
Date: 2008-07-15 14:38:20

I also thought that this was a pretty good story. Unlike Phil, however, I don't believe you overused his name. Well, maybe just a little. I've read a lot of children's stories where they use the protagonist's name repeatedly throughout. And no, I haven't graduated from children's stories yet. 
Good job!

Title article: Back at Me
Date: 2008-07-15 14:32:43

The pic at the top- is that Helena Bonham-Carter?

Title article: Back at Me
Date: 2008-07-15 14:31:05

I thouroughly enjoyed this poem, as I am one who spends a great deal of time living in his head, just like the subject of the poem. I can easily relate. 
 
Beautifully done!

Title article: A Dollar Seventy-Five and a Hot Dog
Date: 2008-07-14 18:19:11

This was a pretty amusing story, but I didn't care for the ending. I was cheering him on, hoping that he would get his hot dog, and then he dies before he can swallow his first bite. What a letdown. 
On the other hand, the encounter with the woman at the newsstand was pretty funny. That should be drug out more, in my opinion. Good vocabulary and descriptions. 
Good story!
