Cold Lady
on Oct. 27, 2011
At a little over 12000 words, this is a quick read, but the author makes good use of the language and packs a lot of details. The story is depicted in very realistic details, be it emotions, feelings or scenery. The story takes place hundreds of years ago in the great white north, and the author really succeeds in making you feel like you're there, like you're the main character. You'll feel the cold, and even the fear to some extent. Personally while reading this I was thinking "well, it's not THAT scary", but when I turned off the lights, I realized that I couldn't quite close both eyes, needing to keep an eye on my surroundings. Thankfully that dark shadow turned out to be the cat, but you get the idea. :) Cold Lady is a very effective short story told the way horror suspense should be told. I for one hope the author will be writing more stories in the genre. Highly recommended.
