RE: Nanomancer Creative Writing Competition Entry: Mined
I found it very dark and creepy. Your username obviously fits well--not a fan of horror and this feels like it could easily go there if you continued. Nice work!
Thanks! I'm glad you stepped out of your preferred genres to give me a read. Certain dark fictions have always held a thin veil between the fantasy and horror genres. Even the section of Lord of the Rings where they travel through Mount Moria could be considered horror.
I tend towards darkish fantasy in general. But when thinks get gross or scary I go far far away. I don't mind dark themes, but don't like to be scared
I find thematic horror and dread to be scarier than blood and spooks for the most part.
