This short story is about obsession and twisted love. I have explored the undercurrents which often occur in a relationship, and the extreme consequences that can erupt as a result of them. Suffice it to say some of this was quite difficult for me to write as, being only 16 myself, I have not...

Just before you read this, I promise I am not sick. Stolen The trees whisper at my greed At my arrogant, selfish need. Dirty and evil seems my lust As I thrust, Robbing the innocence and purity And this teenager’s virginity. Scream does she, screams out all her fears Which is music...

Hi everyone! This is a new short story I have written for an assignment; please comment! Also, you may draw some conclusions starting with the phrase, 'Yes but some mothers wouldn't...' but remember that all mothers are different ... Forest Christine sprints through the forest, dragging a...

Hi everyone. For an assignment, I was told to produce a "scary setting," so I decided to create a kind of foreshadow in the weather, then use to weather itself to destroy... Please tell me what you think! Scary Setting I remember it clearly. It was all … in layers, I suppose. Yes...

Here is an exract I wrote when I was bored ... please criticise all you like and tell me what you think. Thanks! :) By the yellow candlelight she saw the head distinctly, hovering in mid air above her. At least, it seemed to be hovering, attached to a frail, almost non-existent body that...

Hi everyone! In this extract of the story I am producing, I was trying to create serious tension between the two characters. I don't think it is very good ... it certainly isn't the best I can do ... so I was hoping for some harsh critism and things that can help me! Thanks a lot: Jason...

My World Glass. It shimmers Like the sun on a stream. I look down below And watch my city gleam. In the palm of my hand Are the world and its people And I’m up here In my castle Or steeple. I have all my money. I have all my fame. I have all its luxuries But they’re just The...

This is my latest work, please, please comment! Everything you say is helpful! Thanks. Footsteps Footsteps. Please, no more. I couldn’t deal With another slam, A tumble to the floor. Footsteps. Please, don’t roar. My ears are hurting – Really bad – And they’re hurting more and...

Hi everyone! I have been writing a story for more than a year now, and it is called (if you haven't guessed already) Darkest Vengeance. So far I'm 81 pages in, which I know isn't a lot but I have almost given up on it. I'm trying not to, though! Anyway, this is the prologue. The prologue...

Please I'm Sorry Mummy, Mummy, on the wall, Who is the safest one of all? "You are, darling," she would say, She'd tell me - quick - to run away. But Dad would scream And rage and shout And thrash and stab and stamp and clout. He'd keep her pinned, Against the wall, With no peace...

Hi everyone! I have made up a poem please tell me what you think! Creak ... Oh dear. A sound on the stair. I could tell mummy, but she won't care. She'll say there's no monsters, She'll say go to bed, She'll tell me and tell me It's all in my head. Shivering and squirming, I try to...

Hi everyone! I'm reading a book called Thorn and it's basically a whodunnit sort of book and it's very dark. It's keeping me guessing, although I already sort of know who's been doing the crimes I think (?)! Lol! I was just wondering what other people thought of it and whether you enjoyed...

Hi all, I have been scanning through forums and it has occured to me that when people are talking about the 'best horror books', they aren't always referring to the actual 'scare' factor. For example, I have seen The Stand by Stephen King voted as the best horror book ever billions of times...

Hi everybody, I have recently read The Stand by Stephen King, and it is a really great book. However, I was a little dissapointed with the 'horror' aspect of the whole thing ... not once was I actually scared with what was about to happen ... maybe thrilled (?) but frightened? - No way...

The title of this forum speaks for itself. Is there a certain book out there that everybody is crazy about, but you just hate? An example might be the Da Vinci Code. Loads of people love it, but I think it's a bit too formulae and it lacks flabbergastingly in decription. What do you...

Hi all, What would you say is the weirdest book you have ever read? It can be anything from the content to how the book is written ... anything at all. Mine might me The Dice Man ... or maybe House of Leaves. Anybody else?
