RE: The Grandfather Clock (Short Story)

The sense of implied, slow built gore really intrigued me all the way through. I love this, it seems so out of this world yet could be happening next door at the same time.

Nice writing, I really liked your pacing.

Cheers dude.

Trying to create unsettling atmosphere in horror is something that has always fascinated me. I'm a big fan of Clive Barker (who was a pupil at my high school), famous for the movie 'Hellraiser' who definetly goes the shock and gore route, but I think sometimes the slow build can be more creepy.

Glad you enjoyed the story Amir
