Talk:In Your Nightmares I Will Live/@comment-25052433-20190703224836

A story of curses and demons that opens with a description of prison food. I love it.

General Quality: (20) Damn good story. Not much too really say. It could easily stand-alone as a great piece of short fiction without being tied to a contest. The final speech felt a bit over-the-top to me, a little too flowery, but I guess it’s his party and he can die if he wants to!

Horror Factor: (25) Horror is not the presence of danger but rather the presence of dangerous conditions. This story gets that by using a count-down to death as the character’s crux. Death is scary enough – but a scheduled death… that’s terrifying.

Entertainment Value: (23) I was indeed entertained. Happy from start to finish.

Lyrical Interpretation: (20) Sure thing!

Total score: 88/100
