This is a great story, really interesting, engaging and creepy as hell.

I'm a little disappointed, though. As it stands, it's simply not believable.

A five year old kid would be scared as hell by what he saw in Mr. Bear's basement. He knew there was crazy shit going on there. He sent that letter out of curiosity, fair enough, but it doesn't make a sliver of sense that he would actually let his father take him to the house and leave him there. That simply wouldn't happen. What's even more unbelievable is that his father was naive enough to take his child there without researching the show at all or trying to make any contact with the show's producers. Even after seeing how run-down and delapidated the house was, he still brought his kid to the door? It simply wouldn't happen, unless the dad is just as psychotic as Mr. Bear!

What's more confusing is how the other children ended up at Mr. Bear's house. If he gets kids to come to his house the same way he did with the narrator, then each child would've sent him a letter and received a reply. This means that all of the children's parents were even crazier than the narrator's dad, because they dropped the kids' off at this delapidated house and didn't bother to contact the police until weeks after their disappearance. The parents knew exactly were the kids were, realised they hadn't come home, and yet didn't contact police. Perhaps Mr. Bear killed all of the parents when they came to the house, but the police only found the bodies of children, so that's unlikely.

Anyway, regardless of these holes in the story, it's still a capitvating read. I can't wait to read more.
