Hook Without Purpose | Short Story Review | AstraDaemon

JASPER PEACOCK by Paula Cappa has a great hook, but didn't  really go anywhere with it. Mostly dialogue, little action, and even less of the centerpiece Rabbles. The ending gives the impression the author gave up on the storyline.

If you're looking for a horror story, look elsewhere. Even The Picture of Dorian Gray is far more thrilling, as far as stories about paintings.

As always,
AstraDaemon
