Talk:The Portraits/@comment-3541151-20160115234640

I first found The Portraits in a short story collection by CreepsmcPasta. Creeps said, he always liked short stories that packed a punch in the end, and that was the theme of the collection.I turned on my expectancy as he narrated. I had high hopes, as these are the kind of stories I'm always looking for. I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied. In hindsight the twist probably isn't impossible to see coming, but it slipped past me, so I enjoyed it that much more.

The story's about a hunter finding shelter for the night, in a secluded cabin. As he tries to sleep, he sees these menacing portraits all along the walls.

Telling more would venture into spoilary territory, and the fun of this story is hearing it all the way through. As I've said, I really enjoyed it because I didn't see the twist coming.

It needs the shock value to have decent quality, and that's the story's weakness, too. On it's own, it's still passable, nothing is really wrong with the story. The writing is fine, well placed and non clumsy. It's just dependant on one's surprise for whether, or not it's special. Which from my experience, it was. For me 7/10 For those who could predict the ending, a very meh 6/10
