Hi J.D,

I've read the first twenty and so far it's a very cleanly written fun to read horror flick. While many writers try to do something completely different it often comes off as a meandering mess, while this actually seems like it will be a movie. No mixed genre, just good old straight forward horror storytelling.

Well read the rest soon. No suggestions so far, just enjoying it.

Just glanced through the first few pages.

The first three characters being cynical, foul-mouthed un-Christian Christians turned me off. The Christians-are-hypocrites cliche has been done to death. Make the kids true believers, and the reader will have a reason to care about them, and get on board with what you're trying to do.

BTW, love the title.

Only read the first act, but it's well written and interesting. Definitely putting it on my reading list. So far so good.
