Talk:The African Preacher/@comment-25052433-20171018205059

Excellent story! As stated below, there was an undertone of darkness that became damn near palpable towards the middle of the story, and practically drowns the reader in dread at the end. While I usually don't go in for the ultra vague plots, this one is an exception as it executes the story perfectly. This is one of those rare times for me where less is more.

The ending would be my only slight critique, as it does follow the somewhat cliche "he's behind you" trope, but perhaps that works well here too. Maybe the father's interactions with the preacher throughout the day were representative of the son's possible demise. (If that is what the preacher does.)

All around, this was a great read. The pacing was perfect, and plot was original and gripping and the tone was dark and menacing. Exteremely well done!
