I pretty much love all stories supernatural. I love Stephen King, but I haven't read any of his new stories in a little while (probably a couple of years). I've gotten so caught up in reading new romance stories lately.

Do you have any place where you post your stories?

Hey Keri!

Wow, it was funny seeing a thread with my name on it! COOL!

I also LOVE Stephen King... I've been reading a lot of paranormal romance lately too BUT I've managed to squeeze in some KING along the way. I recently read THE SHINING and 'SALEM'S LOT for the first time and thought they were fantastic and outstanding! Have you read those?

Okay, as for my own stories, yeah, I've got a few published at online webzines.

Here are some links:

http://darkwalls.com/html/the_girl_with_the_dimples_by_y.html

http://www.horrorseek.com/horror/darkfire/nov04_4.html

http://www.horror-web.com/ghost/2004.html#ripper

Hope you enjoy them! Let me know what you think if you get a chance to read them... none of them are paranormal romances, but they're all dark, creepy short tales.

Thanks for showing an interest Keri!

Re: Yolanda


Yolanda!

I was actually able to finally link to one of your stories! It was 'The Berry Show'. Very cool, and funny! I loved it. Great Zombie reference too!!!! emoticon I just had a story idea for a Lady Vampire last week called, "All Women Are Monsters!" Ha - sorry about the title...

But I was actually interested in and tried to get to the link mentioning 'the girl with the dimples', but...that old work filter put a quick stop to that claiming a 77% chance of naughtyness. Must be the site, or the ads, or something like that...

Good job, Yolanda! I'll read whatever stories of yours I'm allowed to...

THANKS McDoogle! Glad you enjoyed it. I wrote that one day after watching a Jerry Springer episode... I thought it'd be cool to combine the supernatural monsters and the Jerry Springer concept. Although, I still think the monsters are much tamer than anyone who appears on Springer! LOL!

I've got a few more 'episodes' in mind to add to this Berry Show concept. Thought it may be fun to string a whole bunch of them together. Sounds like fun to me, anyway!

The vamp story title's a good one - no offense taken here! It's just a story title!

I hope you get a chance to read the other stories! There's nothing real 'naughty' in them, they're just mostly on horror-related websites and that may be why you can't get through! Who knows... but I hope you get a chance to get through.

Thanks for your comments! emoticon

Re: Yolanda


Yolanda,

I could tell it was the Springer show - so good job! It's a great concept. I'd love to see you take this farther and do more monster interviews! I think it has a LOT of potential! It was a fun read! emoticon

Re: Yolanda


Thanks McDoogle!

It's always great when you stumble into a world with more than one possibility!

Oh, and your vamp story - is it a short story or something longer?

Hey, we should start a vampire thread! Gotta love those vamps... emoticon

Re: Yolanda


Yolanda, I can't wait to read your stories, hopefully I'll be able to soon. The one short story I've finished is about a vampire. A vampire thread is a good idea.

"The Berry Show" was great! You know the feeling when you read something and really wish you had thought of the idea first? emoticon

Re: Yolanda


Yolanda! I really enjoyed "The Berry Show." It was a great idea and perfectly executed!

I also read a couple more but...while I can tell they're very good, I just don't do horror all that well...feeling kinda queasy...gotta leave this thread now...
