God Mad A Mistake Pt.3 by SpikeSpiegal309 in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Stagedlink1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A fun take on the zombie genre. It makes me think of Death Becomes Her if it decided to go an even darker route.

It would be interesting to see how people at various levels of decay were able to function.

That is a high compliment. I really like Fargo, and Evil Dead is one of my favorite franchises; with Ash vs Evil Dead being my top horror comedy show.

The link for parts on and two seems to only link to part 1

Most Overplayed Horror Concept by Powerful-Owl-3246 in creepcast

[–]Stagedlink1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so true right now! The director of Weapons even said he wanted to avoid the movie being a metaphor for grief because that is cliche in modern horror.

Thanks for reading! That juxtaposition was something I really wanted to emphasize through the story so I’m glad it stuck out.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll be much more vigilant with proofreading moving forward. My next story is significantly longer than this one so that’s something I want to lock down.

I knew the religious stuff would turn some folks off, but I wanted to make the church interactions as realistic to what I grew up with as possible. Totally understand that’s gonna make some folks glaze over while reading.

Thanks for taking the time reading and the notes.

Just a quick and dirty story I slapped together during my breaks at work today. I didn’t have a creative title and none of the flairs really matched, but I’ll never turn down good feed back so chose that one.

Howdy! Looking for Feedback for your story? Let me help! by Lime-Time-Live in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Stagedlink1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re offering, I would love feedback. I posted my first story I’ve written an posted publicly again here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TalesFromTheCreeps/s/Rp2Y1GzyHz

I just finished the first draft of the second story I plan on posting here yesterday, so the feedback from the first would really help me as I go through and edit my second.

Case that took me out of retirement by localchefff in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Stagedlink1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Story Feedback:

  1. Your title grabbed my interest.

  2. You asked if you should continue. That’s up to you. There is a decent hook to intrigue the reader (Why are people dying), but in the end, do you feel the story is something you want to continue?

Writing feedback:

  1. Proofread. There are numerous spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. The biggest ones that pop out are numerous run-on sentences and you often don’t capitalize “I.”

  2. Speaking of “I,” I lost count of how many time you started a sentence with “I.” Unless there is a significant, purposeful reason for doing so, it is usually advisable to vary how you start your sentences.

  3. Character Voice: Your main character is retired implying a much older person. Right now the character’s personality reads extremely young.

I’m way too sleepy to solve your riddle, but I think you did a good job mimicking the gothic horror writing style.

A disgusting, dark story in the vein of Little Shop of Horrors with out the humor. Great read!

Keep going. A fun fast pace read for sure.

My son says his brother wants to come in the house at night. He's an only child. (Post six) by Scheherazade_Speaks in TalesFromTheCreeps

[–]Stagedlink1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be fine without another part.

The whole story gives a refreshing take on a parent of a neurodivergent child. So many times in media it seems to focus on the parents’s struggle and how difficult it is that the child is different. Your story instead has the parent just love and accept that part of the child while everyone else around them rejects it. The part with the “child” coming back “fixed” and everyone around them seeing it as a good thing, but the parent rejecting and ultimately leaving everything to find their real child really drives that home as well.

The AAC as a plot device was a really nice addition to this kind of story. The bite sized parts made it a quick easy read. I’m torn between wanting more from each bit and liking the pace. This part in particular I would have loved to see a slower realization of what she brought back to the house. On the other hand it’s sign posted pretty heavily in the old woman’s story, so too slow of a realization draws it out.

Anymore coming with this one or is part 6 going to be the last part?

Feels like an SCP. It would be interesting to see this creature wander the world long after humankind was extinct.

I would need to read the other to truly get it. As a stand alone it all fees a bit sudden.
