It seemed more natural to me. This story has me wanting to run a Ravenloft game again.</p> I loved this story, I enjoyed not having everything elaborated on, giving me room to fill in the details of the world.

I think I'm in the wrong decade. I LIKE not being told every damned little detail. I like using my imagination, i like being asked to provide something to the story myself. This story made me excited, it made me want to know more and see more. That's a damned good story.</p> <p>Also, the reading was great. Cheyenne's work added a lot to the experience. Thanks!</p> Damn.

Also, the reading was great. Cheyenne’s work added a lot to the experience. Thanks!

Creepy visuals. Magical elements and demons. The main character's ending in the story isn't happy or hopeful or some king of warm fuzzy lesson about life. The reading was excellent. The audio quality was excellent.</p> <p>What I didn't like: Overwhelming amount of untold backstory and basic background information about the environment. It's 'especially', not 'expessially.' Why would anyone put that much magic into their room and then leave?</p> What I liked: A killer as the main character. Creepy visuals. Magical elements and demons.

I like the thought of the essence of a city being a tangible, addictive substance, and of adoration and want becoming so wanton and intertwined as to be indistingushable within someone. Horror and desire play so nicely together…

All in all, I thought it was a well-crafted story and a great listen.

Also, I don't know if this was another obvious part of the story that never got developed, but I was waiting the entire time for some hardcore voodoo, which never happened.</p> I was very impressed with the quality of the reading, which helped me to grapple a tenuous hold on the plotline, and the story was fascinating, but I agree that it was not written like a short story, it was written like a mangled cut-and-paste version of an excellent story.

Overall I would say this story isn’t great, it was definitely worth listening to and I hope to hear something else from this author.
