This is a very unusual, but very dramatic chapter. In reading it I can easily see where it would keep a reader at the edge of their seat.
Thanks for sharing this. JW

Comment from Jackarrie
A compelling read, and yes violence and sex, and and a vivid imagination. Very well written, I normally do not like this kind of material, but it did hold my interest to the end. I suppose I can take consolation that this weirdo is suffering for the heinous deed he inflicted on others.
well done. Mary

Comment from J. Dark
Apologies for missing the odd chapter due to illness. I was excited to see a chapter sitting in my messages.
The opening quote created good atmosphere and your opening paragraph had great weight with impacting words.
The horror of Eddie's spiralling thoughts are imparted with the exact twisted logic you would expect from a perpetrator.
I loved the man-sized spider description. I think it is wonderful descriptive text like this that is one of your unique selling points. The imagination of the whole spider horror scene is just mesmerising. You have a remarkable ability to bring a fascinating story to life.
Ok, I confess, you have got me! I am going to go back and read any missing chapters later purely for my own enjoyment.
Simply superb and this is such a fine example of intriguing and imaginative story telling.
Much love
Julie :o)

Julie, thank you so much for this wonderful review. I'm really honored by your encouraging words and support. It wasn't an easy chapter for me to write. I really don't consider myself a horror writer, per se, so I've been pleased by the good reception of this integral part of the story. Thank you so much!
Love,
Bev

Comment from Bill Schott
This story is freaky good with a lot of terrifying images that cross through this guys mind (maybe) and in the darkness. Man, I need to go to the bathroom now.

Comment from Norbanus
The view intense, his mind incensed
the spider swears its vengeance.
To rape Fritz Buell, it was not cool
now who will pledge allegiance
And then there's mom, where'd she come from
He left her in the freezer
That's where she stays, till end of days
there's nothing that could please her.

Comment from rtobaygo
Let me state I would have given six stars, but I have used my quota for this week, which is annoying.
Powerful imagery and scene construction. You have the reader sitting on the brink of insanity only to pull him back to your form of reality. I REALLY ENJOYED THE POST!
Take care,
Ray

Comment from sujo1964
Spellbinding. I thought I was in the middle of a Stephen King novel, the description was that good. The large spider splitting into thousands of little ones was a super image. Well done my friend.

Comment from BethShelby
Wow! This waa intense. I've not read anything you've written before. It is good writing and holds the reader spellbound. I see this man is demon possessed and I think his actions and fears show this well.
