Reviews For: Darkness From The Skies
Dark Lord Hades 2008-11-06 . chapter 1
First of all, you mangled the Call of Cthulhu quote--the most famous lines Lovecraft ever wrote! FYI, it goes:

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

You also misspelled just about every Lovecraftian name in the story, except for Cthulhu.

Arkham NOT Arkam
Miskatonic NOT Miskitonic
Nyarlathotep NOT Nythorep (good freaking lord)
Alhazred NOT Alzhared
R’lyeh NOT R’hlyeh OR Rlyeh

Poor ol’ HPL is probably spinning in his grave, praying that Herbert West will come along and reanimate him just so he can hunt you down and strangle you!

Sorry to be harsh but it kind of cheeses me off when novices write Lovecraft fanfic without showing the proper respect.

Also, your grammar is pretty bad throughout.

Also nothing much seems to happen in this story.

I loved this. Well written and very creepy. I realized that you write a lot like H.P. Lovecraft after I read a few of his tales. Excellent job.

Here's my pledge to you, Nicky: each time you take down the review I leave for your story, I will return the following day and post it again. Either gain control of Fictionpress and ban reviews, or be prepared to spend a lot of time taking down reviews that don't praise your collection of misspelled words. Here's my review: this was terrible. Learn to spell first, then learn how to write. Hope that helps!

Dude... you rock. Seriously. This is some good stuff you have here. I love it. And I would appreciate it if you read some more of my writing and told me what you thought about it. I'd love to hear your opinion. Ok. That'll be all i guess. Get this stuff published, if it isn't already.

LOVED that!
Few people can catch the lovecraftian feeling and you have done a great job with this. The creepiness oozed from every sentence and this resulted to a haunting atmosphere.
Sure, there were sporadic spelling and grammar errors, but nothing that can't be fixed. And although some parts were a bit foggy, I didn't mind much, because this was another of Lovecraft's traits.
Overall, a very enjoyable read. Good work.
Endless Nightmares 2004-02-06 . chapter 1
Hello again-
Extremely well done, like your others. You have what it takes to be a great writer. You have a poetic style of writing, and that is very creative.
This was really eerie, and your descriptions of things made it seem a lot more eerie.
I would love to read some new story from you, because you have a great mind for horror.

very intense. i love the poetic ramblings of one touched by fancy. I would love for you to peruse a few of my submissions, one of which hints at HIS return. Keep writing and remember that in his house at R`yleh HE does wait dreaming.

I honestly cannot find words to describe your writing. I am absolutely meszmorized with your stories. You have a way of writing that just sends the reader into that world. It almost as if the story comes to life as the reader reads it. I truly hope you continue to write.

I love how you wrote this. It's almost poetic. The discription of everything is so...graceful...I don't even know how to put it. I love this story.
