"Hey, Skyler! I'm thrilled you liked the story. I left a review on your story about Marilyn some time ago. The reason I say that now is because I don't know if you have your account set up so that you'd be emailed when you receive a review. Thanks again for your comments. " -- Michael Harris, Detroit.
"Wow that was beautifully written... your dialogue was unbelievable and word choice superb! I remember a similar plot from a movie. You are a damn good writer... gave my heart that rush of fear a few times. You got "horror" down. I really liked how you began... really sucked the reader in... No one can say no to a crazy story from a lunatic. And your vocabulary is never ending... you got books of words in your head I bet... from reading it I got a feeling of British literature... kina reminded me of Steve Aylett. If you haven’t read any of him, I strongly suggest you do... brilliant horror author. Keep it up." -- ryan severud.
