I Am A Werewolf But I'm Different
I like the cadence you set for this. It offered a series of windows into empathising with your werewolf’s isolation. I found the fear of getting too close to its old family touching, and I thought the werewolf’s attachment to the watch made it relatable.
Interesting premise, well done.

The Steam And Sip Eavesdropper
I liked the way you built the tension in this story, so you hooked us in and then revealed a bit more from the couple’s conversation… then a bit more. I also liked the scene setting at the start, even if I did have to look up ‘dreich’ (which I should really have known, to be fair). Well done.

Blondie, Beer And Hogmanay
I love this story, Chuck. The respect we showed our elders, the partying behind their backs, the old-style phones, and the music of Blondie – you captured it all really well. I felt like I had gone back in time.

I enjoyed your story, but would have liked to have seen the relationship explored in even more depth. It was well written  and an interesting idea to show both protagonists discover their emerging emotional side through a relationship. I would miss the the bit about wet t-shirt, telling us her wet clothes clung to her body was enough. It was a sad ending. Let’s hope he can take what he’s learned to another relationship.

Very Nice! While obviously written in the modern day, it felt like a throwback in some ways to the old school sci-fi of the pulps I enjoy! The emotional throughline was nice, especially the dual development of the characters as they both become more aware of their emotions.
Thanks!!!

I Am A Werewolf But I'm Different
A werewolf, a killing machine. But you are different. I read this as part of the critique circle but I’m not into werewolf stories. I read it to see how different your MC could be. It’s such a moving and sad story. Well done.

Short Stories And Tall Tales
Having already been in the lovely position (I know the author) to have read this book .. It’s brill. As a lover of short stories (it’s a life balance), these were great. One caught me out at the last paragraph, another had me thinking .. did I meet them on a cruise? One took me right back to my younger days .. not the same age as the author though, and a reminisce of fun we used to have.
Buy it, guys, you’ll not regret it.
