Talk:The Rake/@comment-25655620-20141205092447

This is one of the classics that actually deserves its popularity.

The writing is simply divine, that is really all there is to say about it.

The concept, while a little unoriginal, works for this kind of stories, and I feel like the simplicity helps at making it believable, which is what a mythpasta is all about.

The collection of stories though gives me mixed feelings: while all the author successfully create a series of short stories that make the scare grow, i can't help but find the last story lacking, being just a generic creepypasta with its up and down, and the fact that it's the longest one is really a problem.

Also, I found the little girl in the last story incredibly unnecessary and stupid, the all "make a kid say the name of the monster" thing really breaks the mood, I remember while I was reading this my all body was shaking, then I read "he is the Rake" and immediately started laughing, seriously.

Even so, the story is still really good and I fell that just a little mood-killer doesn't bring it down.
