Pretty cool and creepy read.
Creepy story...of course I had my speakers turned OFF just in case. The Hodag that was mentioned is somewhat of a tourist attraction in the town of Rhinelander, Wisconsin. I still think the Wendigo is the creepiest cryptozoology creature.
This is exactly the case. This cave story has major Lovecraft-influence all over it: the journal format, not naming the people or location, strange noises & smells, no real "ending", the "was it all in my mind?" conundrum, etc. etc.Quote:

wow.....i felt like i just wasted my life reading that. pages 9 and 10 could have summed up the story pretty well. we didnt need 8 pages of "im digging" and "lookit the hole now". retarded.
My thoughts as well... this whole tale smacks of lovecraft. Not too bad, but it doesn't evoke the true terror that some of Lovecraft's stuff does.Quote:

Creepy...
So all you wanted was the movie trailer, where all the good parts are shown without any of the buildup or development?Quote:

Oddly, I could have done without pages 9 and 10. I didn't buy the scary stuff and knew that page 10 was the last page as I was reading it, and that it would stop like it did. The stuff on spelunking was actually pretty interesting.

Would make a cool movie if put in the right hands.
Great read. Oddly enough, I just finished an Angel novel today all about rock demons and I kep thinking back to it whenever he described the "rock on rock" sound.
