Who will save your soul?

I'm still sort of learning my way around the Authonomy website. I left you a message when I really wanted to leave a comment. I'm not quite sure why they are not one and the same thing. Anyway, my message simply mentions that the fourth story in your book is very similar to one of the stories in my own short story collection, "It is Appointed unto Men Once to Die." The story in my book that is similar to your fourth story is entitled 'Weeping and Reaping'. I enjoyed the two stories that I read in your collection and have backed your book.

Hi Fayyaad!

Okay, anyone that ends a short story with "a loud, satisfied belch" (which, incidentally, made me laugh outload - not an easy feat) is worthy of shelf space! This is crazy, ingenius, wicked... The list goes on. But most of all, it's very good. And entertaining. Well done! Backed.

Creepy, and a great read to boot. Awesome work. On the shelf, sir.

On my shelf of course, my friend.

I was slightly put off, nay, scared by your picture, and wondered what lay in store for me inside your head. But it seems that you can't judge a book by it's fancy dress cover and I'm glad I was brave. I have read the first two stories and was delighted by both of them. Nice and swift, delivering a satisfying ending with plenty of meat in between. Backed.

Fayyaad,

I've read the first two and they're delightful. Can't find fault with either one of them. Not quite what I expected though from seeing your picture.

Get Bradley Wind to make you a cover. He loves to do it. I guess he's developing a portfolio.

You'll get out of this site what you put into it. Be careful of swappers, though. Make them go first. If they give you a backing but no comment. Return a comment with no backing. Some are trying to game the system. Others are sincere. Look how many comments their books have received and how many they've written themselves.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the stories! :) I know that I eventually need to revisit the ones I'd written first, so an update will eventually happen (when I manage to get the hooks from the Xbox out of my brain; some games have some pretty brilliant stories to tell!)

Interesting to hear that some people try to game the system. There's always going to be a few, aren't there? C'est la vie, I suppose! (Or is it c'est la humanity?)

Backed earlier and finally got a chance to come back and comment. I read the first three stories and enjoyed all of them, they remind me of the ghost/horror anthologies I used to read a few years back. There are a couple of typos but I couldn't see anything major. I particularly liked the second story, 'The Demon', and was trying to decide whether I preferred it with or without that final sentence. In a way I think it would work quite well ending 'But to get to them, you'll have to impersonate me...' so you're never quite sure whether it was real or just a story.

As I said, already shelved. Good Luck!
