This is a chilling and atmospheric poem that brings to life the vampire myths of long ago. Apposite word choice, explosive alliteration of 'd's and the accompanying graphic and sound track all combine to freeze the marrow.

Great halloween entry. Talk about horror, this is it. That last paragraph should scare anyone. Unable to escape came back and now must sleep until feeding time. I like to read a well written poem; this one qualifies, it is not only well written it is presented by a real scarey picture. Good work

The whole presentation is awesome! Such a chill and eery feel comes strongly from all of it. A great horror tale that adds a warning, which draws the reader into the piece, makes this write even stronger. Great detail and use of rhyme.

I can see why you won the '100 word horror' - Two really creepy stanzas in rhyming couplets. Very well written. And of course the picture and the sound of the wind - all the ingredients for a terror experience. Regards Dorothy

Thanks a bunch, Dorothy. You saw the poem OK? I had a reviewer tell me that he couldn't see it at all. Kinda' had me worried, there...

Thanks again!

Dean you are so fixated to these demonic and horror tales that it makes me wonder Why. I tried to get its message but I don't think I did. At least I got this: that to catch a wolf you have to be a wolf ( your demon slyer) which is quite a rational idea of evolutionary theory of strange species like chameleons who so quickly adapt themselves to the new environments so that they can preserve they existence. But, hey at least I'm trying. Some extra notes or discussions would be helpful here. Thanks Dean. Cheers.

Hey, thanks Paul. This one was for a 100 word horror contest. You can look up the outline and what was required in the voting booths from yesterday that have closed already. Author's notes are to be at a minimum,, and I simply followed the contest guidelines. I'll go back and add some author's notes now that the contest is over.

Thanks again!

The thriller has mysteriously disappeared from the page but the eeri wind creates a vivid image of horror and mayhem and so does the picture of the damsel in distress.

Hey, pickthorn. You mean, the poem's no longer there? That's odd, I just checked it not more than five minutes ago....Check back with me if the problem persists, would you?

Thanks, my friend, you may want to take another peek to see?

reply by pickthorn on 27-Oct-2013

I still don't see a poem, Dean. Do I have to click on something to pull it up?

reply by the author on 27-Oct-2013

No, it should just open. I'll have to look into it, see what the problem might be...

Thanks, Pick. In the meantime, here's the poem...

~Creeper~

Deep within dark castle's icy keep,
he lurks beneath an undead heap,
in cob ~ webbed crypts of ancient dead,
blood ~ crusted fangs long to be fed...

Should you wander into his lair,
you'd better be a vampire slayer,
for, if you're not, he'll surely keep
your tortured soul, this vile creep...

Deep demon's sleep, eternal hell,
ferocious fiery eyes•¿½??a spell--
Cast on your weak and mortal soul,
you'll have to stay, but long to go...

Resigned to go in search of food,
one of his tortured unholy brood--
feeding, back to dank castle's keep,
child of the night, undead ~ sleep...

Congratulations on your joint winning entry. Your presentation is the best I have ever seen on this website. I was reluctant to enter my own joint winning poem when I saw how good your presentation was. In the end I thought what he hell I'll just take my chances . Well done!

Hey, I loved your too, Anthony! I thought it was easily the best in the contest, sincerely!

Congrats to you as well, my friend, great work!

Just between you and me, I voted for yours, LOL. Almost voted myself right out of the win. But, hey, I thought it was good, so...

I feel like I should know who this author is... hmmm... perhaps I shall be proved wrong...

Perfectly named piece, very creepy indeed! Nicely rhymed and the sound effects certainly add to the atmosphere.

Good luck with this one!
