Creepy! Gory, and awful. And I couldn't seem to read it fast enough. Dark and humorous. You captured a freaky pschopath's nature very well. Please tell me this was not biographical. (Just kidding...I don't really want to know.)

It is quite a scary read in its way. I enjoyed the feel of learning how mad he was. Sounds bad enjoying this but to like something yet feel a little sick thinking about someone doing this to themselves.

it is a dark story that in itself looks at the world of compulsive behavoir, a man who has an obsession with finger nails, whilst being driven over the edge by the dog next door and the suspicions over his girlfriend

Wow! I was hooked from the first paragraph. Excellent suspense, use of language, just the right amount of profanity and violence...love it!

Ooh, this is truly a horror story, and I think you may have just won the contest. You build tension brilliantly, and I like the way formatted your story.

Scary and horrible and tantalising and just a little terrifyingly possible.
The alternating narrative and diary entries works well to create the tension towards the inevitable climax.

What a clever story line who would have thought of writing about finger nails. A good story with imagery and needs no change to it . Mary

Well, to be honest I didn't really understand it but my stomache churned with fear reading every line. Yet I still had to read the entire piece which means you did a good job. Great entry for the contest.

This is an excellent entry for the horror contest. The story was told in a creative manner with the flashbacks and the doses of sanity around the parents contrasting with the insanity brought on by the wife. Great job! Good luck in the contest. Bev
