*Shield1*    OFFICIAL JUDGE'S REVIEW    *Shield1*



Hello iKïyå§ama-Yay-Nurses!

Thank you for taking the time to enter the January 2025 round of the "The Bradbury ContestOpen in new Window..

Enclosed please find the following official judges' review, for your consideration.


Positives

The detail and description in your story was excellent, creating a vivid and specific image in the reader's mind. I also thought the character development and the dialogue were realistic and engaging.


Suggestions

The "horror/scary" elements of this genre piece felt a little muted. For me, the genre more than anything is defined by an atmosphere of tension, dread, etc. and I didn't get as much of that as I was hoping from a story written for a Horror/Supernatural prompt where something "scary or spooky" was going on. I would have loved for those genre elements to really be exploited a little more.


Overall

Overall, this was a solid, well-written story with excellent detail description and good character work. Nice job!


I hope you've found this review helpful, and thank you again for entering the contest!

Respectfully,
