Comment from Benjamin Valencia
Hi Brett. This was a really cool and riveting story..Absolutely loved this tale. The peasants are happy to hear the voice of the damned because it was they who helped to despose the king..Kind of ironic though why they would be happy rather, shouldn't they be sad cause they fought for the rights of the peasants? You really did awesome to breathe life into the characters. Though. Job well done. Cheers.

1.) Every night you can (hear) the wailing.
Definitely a terrible and scary bedtime story. I WON'T be telling it to my kids - or reading it again myself before any bedtimes!
(But good job!)

Glad you enjoyed your little visit to this castle. King George seems rather entertaining to me, and knows how to throw a grand party. Does he not?
Comment from Joslyn Chase
I really enjoyed the story. It contained all the necessary elements to engage me and carry me along to the satisfying ending. That being said, there are a few technical issues that could use improvement. Mainly, your use of commas and dialogue devices. Find a good grammar reference and review these topics. Watch out for trite phrases and let strong description stand in for stated emotions and excessive adverbs.
Great job and good luck in the contest!

Thanks for the review.

Brett: so the King got his revenge on all three of the brave souls entering. They all had reasons for money and knew this king. Well written and intense. The King had the castle to himself...no bed and breakfast resort for the traveling to stop at. Oh well, great story. I'll stop in again. Have a great weekend. flylikeaneagle

Wanted plenty of action is this one. Perhaps achieved my goal. Glad you enjoyed it and come again real soon.
Comment from Jackreese
We got a castle, ghosts and a dungeon all the makings of a good horror story. The beginning reminded me a bit like House on Haunted Hill with the unsuspecting victims spending the night in a haunted house. I also liked how each victim met a different demise. Good job I was thoroughly entertained.

I love a supernatural piece! The spirit of King George is an especially creepy addition to this piece of writing. The grammar and spelling were all good, and the story reads very fluidly. It makes the reader want to continue the read. I liked it!

This was a well written piece and I thought it was a good entry for the contest. You captured the eeriness of the haunted manor well and I liked your descriptions and dialogue throughout. I thought that your writing flowed well and I couldn't spot any faults. Good luck in the contest...Jacob
