See what happens when you leave young kids alone?
What a terrifying delight of satisfying the reader's blood lust. A Homicidal escapee, scared kids and the to late information makes this story a tasty treat. This story is built on quick action, huge emotions ,and a horribly ending. The perfect entertaining flash fiction.

Very well written as usual and caught my attention. It just goes to show that knowledge is everything. But we can't always have that advantage. Here to fatal consequences. Well done. Ulla

I enjoyed reading another chapter in the book Tiny Tales of Terror. "The Cellar Stares", is a well told scary story about a crazy man waiting in the cellar a poor victim. Your work is presented exceptionally well and does the job of scaring me. I liked the song of Ozzy Osbourne's Bloodbath in Paradise, it was a good match to the story. The colors and pictures were awesome. Great job Dean!

A great addition to the book. This story had a very '50's B-movie' feel to it. The girl's perch impediment played very well, making it more convincing that she was just a youngster in pigtails trying to protect her brother. And of course, the brother, being convinced he knows better than her, plunges ahead anyway. Again, just like a 50's B-movie.
Excellent job getting a musical aspect in the story, and your choice was quite appropriate.
Overall, I'd give it two severed thumbs up. :)

Another of your imaginative creations Dean.

I like the play on the name cellar stairs-- Cewar Stares--Keller Shares.

Little Bobby shouldn't have gone down those terrible stairs.

A good addition to the series.

Another good story Dean - you went to great lengths with the childish voice of the child at the beginning. Clever idea. I particularly hate horror stories involving children - really frightening. Very well done as usual. Warm regards Dorothy x (might try one of these)

Another thrilling piece Dean, you certainly had me on the edge of my seat once again. You certainly caught the nature and speech of the children well and captured the scene perfectly, I could really feel the horror. Excellent writing again, Dean...Jacob

Hi Spooky,

Loved this one.
Concentrating on the 'real' horror, which is generally more terrifying than the supernatural stuff.

Enjoyed Jenny's voice to give contrast with the older brother. It is sort of sweet and contrasts well with her fate.

Just a couple of very minor queries -

need the apostrophe after gimme?

Should criminally insane be capitalised?

All the best
G
