I struggled a bit with the Explanation(s), but it didn’t detract from the story. I thought it was clever and creepy and I like it a lot. I was pleased by the pictures you painted in my mind with the descriptions but left some of the details out in just the right places to let my imagination play with me.

Thanks!

I loved this when it was on your site, and I love it still now. It’s surprising, tense, vivid, and confident. Even unsettling. In a word: effective.

Y’know, I’d argue that in a way, this *is* a vampire story. “Paul Slater” is very much a vampire — the husband is a dead man, and this thing has replaced him. It hangs that way, at least as metaphor.

Believe it or not, I do think Jenny will land in Dallas. That’s worse for me — this idea that maybe, just maybe, this man has a terrible hold over her, and he may always.

Unless she does something about it.

I don’t think a sequel in Dallas is necessary. I don’t think Jenny will ever land in Dallas.

This, incidentally, is how one should do a vampire story. I don’t care if it is actually a vampire story (it can be read as one) but it is how one should write one. That is all. Good work, Chuck.

Thanks, peeps.

Evan, a sequel might be in order, but mostly I like that it hangs on this awful potential, that we don’t know what’s coming but we know it’s not good — she acquiesces, she’s a part of this now.

Criminally good. How about a sequel in Dallas?

Great nightmarish setup.

Excellent suspense with just the right number of clues along the way to make you really curious.
