Glad, It is your strength. The way you write, un rushed. Almost like you place each word with care, so that your reader feels locked in… seen this with all your work. Love it.
Wow 🤯 just *wow*. You build the suspense so well; the world and setting are so clear and everything layers over the story that came before to maximize the terror and her knowledge of what was happening. Such a great story! I look forward to reading more of this world, if you write more! So artfully done.
It was time well spent. The overall concept is absolutely fascinating, and so well-developed. Especially in this longer form story, it really comes alive and pulls together all the pieces you set up. The way the void anomaly reforms in her mind cements the psychological horror aspect of the beings you created. I really enjoyed reading it and I am excited that you’re planning a longer form novel for it!
Wow. The story just pulls you in...deeper and deeper. My coffee is now tepid! That was excellent. I want to know more about the collapse. And more about the project. I'm kinda glad I did not read that just before bed! Superb.
Definitely visceral! We are sharing a wavelength...this is similar to my story Peripheral from my last story collection. I greatly enjoyed the world you built and the librarian.
This is truly great! I thought your teasers were good; this does not disappoint. This is really setting the bar high. I can't say enough about how great this is. Cannot wait for the next one.
You certainly know how to get someone’s focus. That was dark, riveting and really suspenseful. ❤️
Thank you Brenda. As much as I love my sci-fi stories and cat comedies, I feel I have found my lane with horror.

Thank you Lucy. There may be more short stories set in this world, but the plan is to weave all of this into a novel.
I really appreciate your time reading all of these pieces.

The dream would be to get a producer to notice and run with it. But a novel is definitely in the plans.
That would make for an amazing movie. I will keep all my fingers crossed for that!
One can dream…

Thank you. The other pieces build more of the background.
Aha! Ok. I’d read the third snippet previously. I had thought 1 and 2 were going to be ‘snippets’ and was waiting for ‘Iris’.
Thanks for the heads up. Just read the snippets. Ya…that really helps build the world. This universe has major legs!
That last bit took me a minute to get through. Incredibly written, but terrifying. And eyes ☹️
I'm sorry...ish 😏
Thank you Kelly.

Thank you.
That was intense. Very creepy. I’m almost speechless. Great story!
Hot damn, masterfully done Gary.
You paint a complex world with such few words. I wanted to know more.
Great job at building suspense through the worldbuilding, to the conflict, to the gnarly climax.
Nice central idea too---like a mind virus which manifests in your own trauma.
It reminds me a little of "Look Outside" the 2025 horror rpg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look_Outside
This story made my whole body take a screenshot 👍
Is that good?
Appreciate the comment Levi.
Spectacularly horrifying... have hidden all the screwdrivers in house....
Probably for the best 🪛

Thank you. Much appreciated.
Thank you. I have another few shorts in this world exploring more back history and lore before I delve into a full novel.
I'll check out the story linked.
