DeLuise is a Tease | Flash Fiction Review | AstraDaemon

THE VISITOR by Dan DeLuise has a great hook, plenty of suspense, and a frightening reveal, but ends too soon.

I don't understand why an author would create something so intriguing and not do more with the storyline.

I've read 7 of the 10 Five-Minute Frights, and there's no doubt DeLuise knows how to captivate readers, but flash fiction is not the format for such storytelling. Basically, this author is a booktease.

As always,

Supernatural or Imagined?

THE VISITOR by Clark Roberts is disappointing, nothing like what I've come to expect from the author. However, this one is older than the previous two I've read/reviewed, so it seems Roberts has improved his storytelling over time.

The ending isn't clear enough for me. Not sure if the story is supernatural or something imagined by the main character.

As always,
