Reviews of The Growling

It packs a punch for such a short story! Everything you'd expect from a horror - tension, gore and a scary creature.

It takes a beast, to bring down another beast...
Incredible short, that will make your mind coming back to it for a long time.

Starts off with a punch and just builds up speed; pure excitement!

A good read. The bullies out there had better watch their butts.

Cory is angry when his girlfriend dumps him for a total loser and he goes to her flat to teach this guy a lesson. But as he flees the flat, something inhuman is growling below him on the staircase...

This is a short creepy horror where you know what is going to happen and what the twist is, but you enjoy watching it unfold anyway. Cory is a violent thug so when he gets a taste of fear, you have no sympathy for him and hope that he will get what is coming to him. He has two choices-go back up the stairs to beg his ex for help or fight his fears to use the lift to get past this beast.

The author does a good job of expressing all the emotions that come from Cory during his 'adventures' that night-his explosive anger, his violence and his utter terror. The tension is gradually built up as the beast closes in on him and I thought that this was a great wee horror tale. I'd be interested to see what else the author has written and maybe give that a go. 3.5 out of 5!

I purchased this short story mainly because it features me! Well, the lead character has the same name as me, anyway. After reading the story, I found that I really enjoyed it. It gave me the feeling of reading a "Tales from the Crypt" episode.

Well-written and gripping. Excellent!

I love this story. full of everything i love

This cracked along at a great pace and you'll be picking the teeth and fur out of your hair by the end of it. Packs a punch. You'll never watch an Andrex ad in the same way again!

Good story with a galloping pace!
