The fact that I have to rewrite this entire review doesn't make me even slightly happier about it.

Review time.

GENERAL QUALITY: Several minor typos here and there, but what truly bothered me is that the author forgot to add spacings in several places. Normally, I would mostly overlook this, but considering how author gave himself the effort of putting double spacings after the full stops, this is unacceptable. Score: 16/25

HORROR FACTOR: Even through the amount of gore and pointless violence was pleasing all the way through, the scare crashlanded when the pasta started branching out into another works by the same author. Score: 15/25

LYRICAL INTERPRETATION: The story behind lyrics of Black Sabbath is one of the most (in)famous in the history of music in general. Therefore, I am surprised at how largely was it missed. While the lyrics were based on Geezer Butler's nightmare/sleep paralysis, the basic meaning is about the man who is confronted by the Devil/Grim Reaper, who has come to take him away. However, the man is afraid of dying, and does not wish to go. Credit when credit's due, the initial sequence with the talking darkness was well executed, but the rest felt like a completely different rail. Score: 12/25

ENTERTAINMENT VALUE: Like so many things in this story, it's entertainment value was severely chopped down by the fact that it branched out into Wicker Saga and whatever else the author has written. Not only that, but it's also a sequel to an already existing story. So you're telling me, that in order to understand what is happening here, I must read all of those other stories? No. This story should either be completely standalone or expanded upon later. But in the end, this story takes more than it gives. Score: 5/25

FINAL SCORE: 48/100
