Hi John!

I jumped straight into chapter two, because it dealt with spiders and I find them rather creepy. I also thought you might like some commentary on further chapters, since most people tend to dive right into the beginning.

This is strangely fascinating work, John. It reminds me of a modern Edgar Allen Poe, which is a compliment! Your Hugo is layers of intrigue - you've drawn his personality and physical attributes well - very easy to visualize his appearance and character. Love it! Shelved.

This made me laugh! Several times. And I'm not very easily entertained. Very well written - clear and simple, just as prose should be - and with a twist I just didn't see coming! I really, really enjoyed this and am going to put it on my bookshelf because I think it should be further up the lists.

All the best - your style of writing is great and you have a unique voice.

What a disturbed child - then you get to the end of the first story and... well, let's not spoil it. A nice original short story - I could never write them!

Hi John. How refreshing to have new scary stories to share. You could give Ms. JK Rowling a few pointers on her Beedle Bard book. Shelved. Good luck. Janet Marie

I liked this a lot at the start. Thought it was a bit hobbit like. Having read the other comments, I too was fooled by the genre. I still like it and will come back for more. I like your style of writing.
