I'm a real sucker for stories with a hint of the Lovecraftian. And this certainly had it. I enjoyed the take of an expose by the villain of the piece, er I mean hero of his own narrative. That was nice angle. His revenge, inventive and suitable evil naturally, was not robbed of any sweetness and conducted with appropriately gleeful menace.

This one got deep, quickly. The magical aspect made it a fantasy, but one that I still FELT. His initial descriptions didn't convey the pain he'd felt at the betrayal of his wife, and honestly I didn't immediately pick up on that. Anyhow, thank you for sharing this very interesting story.

I read this earlier today, and had to step back and reflect on what you created. Don`t usually (ummm, never) do that. However, your thought process and incredible writing ability really moved me. Ok, enough emotion... Thus why you are one of a very few favorites.
My biggest regret with this place is the lack of diversity. That's one you (I) won't read too often. Good job, but dark!
4 stars for the writing. would be a 5 if Nicolas changed his name to God, Jesus, Buddha etc.
