RE: A Very Scary Halloween Story
Dear @agmoore,
I knew you write short stories, but this is the first time I have had the opportunity to read one of your pieces with the time and attention they deserve.
Your fiction writing is just as I expected: sophisticated and enthralling. The way you speak to your reader brought to mind Dostoyevsky's style and it made me smile.
I was particularly fascinated by the two paragraphs that describe Ichabod approaching the bridge and subsequent encounter with the children. A very scary story indeed :)
Much love to you from Portugal :*
It means so much to me that you read the story and appreciated its style. I'm glad it was scary :) I refused to allow the reader relief--cruel of me, wasn't it?
I'm glad you're in Portugal. I'm assuming the weather is wonderful there. I do love the Internet--nothing impersonal about it. You proved that today.
Thanks again for enjoying my story and giving me a morale boost. Every writer needs that. Much affection and appreciation from chilly NY.
Edit:
It just hit me now, as I was enjoying the glow of your praise--Dostoyevsky! One of my favorite writers of all time. To have my story bring him to mind--well, that really makes my day.
