Will there be a squel to this story?

This was so gripping. I don't usually read horror, but I simply couldn't put this down! My favourite part was when they were dancing in Sam's room, which was unexpectedly lovely. You're a really good story-teller and I loved all the twists and clues you put in. I thought the truth about Danielle was really clever as the reader knows she can't have the same connection to Danny as in the show, but then you dropped in that Masters didn't have any kids and it kept me guessing. Now that the mystery's solved, I feel like I have a sigh caught in my chest from knowing what happened to Danny. But don't get me wrong, I super enjoyed reading this!

Honestly this was in incredibly inspiring story. It was creepy and clever and honsestly the best thing ive read in a long long time. It got me into writing horror again! Thank you for that.
I adored every twist and turn and every mystery and detail. The shere detail had me reminding myself and wondering a huh? Until it came up later and like a puzzle it fit into place.
Thank you, again, for this. It was amazing, inspiring, and above all else horryfying

I’ll be honest...I avoided this story. It’s almost ironic, considering I’m in this phantom...to be wary of the angst that was rolling off this summary in tsunami like waves. But I gave in. And I don’t regret it.

Tucker dying hurt.

Miss Manson less so. But as chapters went on I felt a prickle in my throat as I thought about my own mother.

Learning the truth about what Vlad has done... chills.

This story is incredible and I applaud your MIND because I am in awe someone could create something so compelling. I spent all day reading this fic.

I...I think you should try to get this published. As it’s own book. Professionally. It’s original enough that it could. I loved it as a fanfiction but god I feel like you need recognition from the whole world and it shouldn’t be skewered from the lens of a fanfic. This was so incredible. My mind won’t stop reeling.

I...am unsure if Sam died. I guess I can pretend she didn’t, considering this ending is a bit open to interpretation... but either way she won. I want to believe it’s over. Vlad lost. And in its own morbidly fashioned way...this was a happy ending. So thank you for that. Thank you for this incredible read.

On a side note, I am so happy you were able to pull yourself out of your own darkness and that you are taking your own path to healing. Mental health is so so important and I know we are just readers, but you created fans. Gosh, I don’t know if I ever would’ve clicked on this story if it hadn’t been fic recd so much. You made an impact on people’s lives. For a day. For a week. For months. For years. I hope that brings you comfort, considering you said you like to look over your reviews sometimes.

I hope 2020 treats you well!

Loved, loved, loved this story! Thanks so much for posting! :)

Guess the difference between horror and adventure are the endings and the sense of completeness. This isn't the first horror story I've read where it cuts off and we don't find out what happened. Like, she was dying, so did she die and join the ghosts? Did the ghosts move on? Did the rest of the town escape? What was everyone's reaction? The town? The country? The world? What about her parents? Did they move on? Once Vlad was exposed, did he move on? Or get obliterated or whatever happens to ghosts when their business is complete? Did they find the children's bodies?

While disappointed that we don't get more of what happened - a resolution, I'm thinking - I have to say that this is definitely one of the best written stories in the DP Universe that I've come across. The details, the pacing, the backstories, the worldbuilding, all masterful and seriously impressive. I also completely get the idea of letting out everything and discovering things about yourself through writing. You said that you are happy now, and I hope that has continued to be the case. If you aren't already a professional, published writer, then I'm surprised because I'm not often THAT impressed.

Well, thank you for the story. :) I don't often read dark stuff lately, but I'm glad I made an exception for this. :D

WHAT. you ended it like THAT. omg. now i need to sit here and think up what this ending could mean. i hate open ended stories, it makes me think so much. this could mean anything. sam joining the dead, danny and valerie not there as yet, the police not there yet, what about her dad? i know her mom at least she moved on, right? im near tears. i knew this story would be sad, have too much of an impact. ngl, is a good impact, but holy crap, ima be thinking about it for at least a week now. it makes for hard concentrating on other things.

tucker’s death was sad but i wasn’t as shocked? i think i saw it coming, it was either him or the officer, but i did hope that he would/had survived. it wasn’t until his grave chapter that i finally accepted it. lord, you made these characters attachable. i wanted everyone to have a happy ending. even so far as for danny to come back from the dead, LOL. qq

my deductions for what vlad was doing was whimsical. i was still thinking of the show vlad who was half ghost and not the evil spirit vlad who as a living human was just plain evil. i didn’t think he was harvesting organs.

i loved this story so much. thanks again for sharing this with us. you went through a lot but you still went ahead and wrote something this phenomenal. i’m horrible with words, and i’ll probably think of something way better to say later, but i just wanted to let you know now that you are a talented person, yer strong, and yer awesome.

dads are awesome, dads are great. sam’s dad is best dad for doing this. i hope nothing bad happens to him. qq also, ever since reading some short, random horror i found on the net of someone looking through a keyhole in a hotel to see nothing but red and finding out that it was a eye later made me jumpy about looking through keyholes. sam seeing nothing but darkness made me immediately think “yeh, that’s because someone’s standing there looking back” and i was creeped out from then on.

oyeh, then vlad paid him back by kidnapping his son. poor danny, i feel so bad fer him. stockholm syndrome is a bitch. sam is right, that’s not a friend. a friend doesn’t keep you, starve you, torture you like that. vlad needs to get swallowed up in hell.

look at me, so attached to these characters. you did that. i’m not normally a fan of sam-centric stories—i love danny more—but this story has me convinced that i can grow to tolerate her more. no sense keeping myself back from a good story just because of the character. i love yer story so much. dreading the end, but i really just want danny to rest i peace now.

it’s vlad! i can’t be convinced otherwise! danny said ‘the house,’ it was vlad’s! only vlad would have this much fun drawing shit out, too! and danny seems to really hate him. vlad always had an immaculate reputation. he was the mayor, he would be obsessed with keeping it that way. and i’m not just saying this because of the show. so far, this story has been near impossibly mysterious, hard to follow, my brain’s too slow to connect pieces easily, lmao. even i was kinda convinced that it wasn’t vlad but skulker at first, but ofc you wouldn’t make it that simple. he was a doctor, he was probably looking to extend his life or some weird shit vlad always be on. he couldn’t find it. skulker was probably his ‘hunter,’ finding random kids (mostly blacks), kidnapping them, bringing them to vlad. danny ended up being one of them. vlad probably cleaned up after him, too, to keep anyone from finding him out and connecting it all back to him. he had that kinda power. i bet the bodies are under the house, in some basement, under the ground. pamela’s there, too.

i wasn’t around for the time that you posted this chapter, wasn’t aware, but i’m glad you are recovering from that, or have recovered. i dont know what else to say, i don’t want to sound like i’m brushing this off because we have a mental issue in our generation today and it’s sad that a lot of ppl are ignoring it. i suffer a lot from depression and a feeling of inadequacy on a daily and it’s hard talking about it to other ppl simply because i feel like they wouldn’t understand. i just bury myself a lot in reading fanfics, like i’m doing now, lol. i’m happy you found ppl in yer life to help you through it. those are the kind you keep at yer side no matter what. thanks fer sharing yer story. this is truly a great piece of work, i’ve been stuck to my phone for hours.

omfg, why did i not realize that sooner! i feel dumb! ofc jazz would be a grief counselor, omg! at least lemme guess that sam’s mom died on those stairs? danny inadvertently killed her, ofc she wouldn’t just walk away unharmed, those old type of stairs are UNBREAKABLE and not at all soft. omg, i feel so bad for sam. and now herface is fucked up, too, this story is sad asf. it’s gonna leave an impression on me, that’s for sure.

when danny said he had an off feeling and was about to tell sam but the noise blocked him out, my brain immediately supplied, “like someone walked over my grave.” had a small kick at that. i crack myself up sometimes, ha. and uh-oh, tucker bout to get in trouble. D:

so was skulker hunting for vlad? i don’t believe vlad is innocent in all this. when is he ever anyway.

so is that skull danny’s or skulker’s? i’m hoping the latter. cuz then otherwise would mean that skulker killed danny. :( either accidentally or deliberately. but then, he would be repulsed by the skull, right? but he hadn’t gotten that close. hmmm...
