What a beautiful design! It's the little touches that impressed me so much. The turning caduceus when you hover the mouse over it, the panic meter, all of it. This was clearly a labor of love and it shows. Excellent work!
Thanks for the kind words! Oh no, a loop! If you can remember what steps led to it, please let me know and I'll do my best to correct it after the contest. Loop or not, I'll consider you as having saved Amanda just the same!
The Worst Summer of My Life by Michelle Heller is a bold-faced lie. It flies in the face of the time honored addage that your first book is always your worst. If this is Heller at her worst, I cannot begin to comprehand what's coming. With the skill of a far more well-known author, she weaves a thrilling narrative steeped in excitement, mystery, and more than a few outright laughs.
I won't give away the story, but it moves at a brisk pace and keeps the reader guessing as things get progressively worse for all involved. The heroine of our story, a poor thiry-something woman who suffers with the wrong name tag for almost half the tale, is deeply fleshed out and richly human. It's hard not to feel for her as the end gets nigh, or when she has to hold a ragtag group of teens together in the face of the unspeakable.
But, somehow she does, just like the woman who wrote the book.
I don't say this often, but I will repeat it for those who just skimmed to the end: You need a little Weinervana in your life, and you need to write down the name Michelle Heller, because this author is going places and you aren't going to want to miss *any* of it.

A dark and mysterious short story that offers up such a richly detailed world. Lovecraft himself would have been proud to read it. While more than enough to hook the reader, there are hints to a deeper story to come.
"Richly detailed and lovingly crafted, Lock the Last Door is modern Lovecraft done right." - Martin Shannon, Five Time Amazon Featured Author of The Last Sunrise
An excellent example of cosmic horror. Sinking, falling, descending into madness. I loved some of the choices in this one: "panic." "Panic?!" "Panic???".
No notes, just happy to have experienced it. This is exactly what a petite mort entry should feel like to me: well-written, short, and perfectly spooky.
What a fun little game! I loved the old school font selection and the general vibe that felt both parser and not. This is a great example of a petite mort entry. Thanks for sharing!
