"SIMPLY POSITIVE GROUP" 
Hello there, PlannerDan
This is a Simply positive Review!

I am also judging your item for "The Bard's Hall Contest"  Thank you for entering!

I loved this historical fiction as the backdrop for this vampyre story. You had a great voice all the way through, which held the reader captive. The imagery wove itself beautifully within the mind's eye.

I sometimes tire of vampire stories, feeling they may have been overdone with modernization. However, returning to its folklore roots of yore, always makes for a creepier storyline.

Observations


"His boots, which came to his knees where intact."

"And so, he left, turning south toward the Volga, toward home, toward Katrina who was waiting for him. However, the hunger within him merged with his love for her, and was changed into something which would haunt his damned soul for eternity. It was an uncontrollable urge which prompted him to head to the small village on the Volga, the village where Katrina waited for him. However, a stronger primal urge also pressed him on a new course of terror and death." There seems to be s repetitiveness in this paragraph. "Katrina waiting for him" needs not be repeated. Also, "uncontrollable urge" and "primal urge" I think this paragraph could have been a little tighter so as not to repeat the "urges."

Otherwise, Oh, my goodness -- this story had me from "During the Napoleonic age, in a small village in the Ukraine near the Volga River,"

Great job!

Until next time--write on!
