Well, Raven’s Game ended a few days ago and I hope the few people who read it to the end had fun. It’s tough to keep up with something like that in both the writing and reading, which seems to be more difficult when it comes to horror. I learned long ago that this is a very niche genre at times because not everyone likes to be scared or they have certain terror standards. No gore, but love suspense. No jump scares, but love the blood and guts. Everyone is different and many simply don’t like being scared in the first place, so this was an uphill battle. Anyway, thank you to everyone who stuck with it and gave feedback.
The ending does allow for a third entry to the Raven Series next year. Only question is if I can figure out the story. Last year, I said I wasn’t sure about a sequel because I couldn’t get it right in my head at the time. Same situation here, so I probably have to wait until something comes to me. Also, I need to make sure there’s still interest. I will say that having a month like this allowed for me making more progress during the day since the posts were at night. At least I think it would if I didn’t have all those other headaches going on.
Let’s get down to the brass tacks, which is a phrase I never understood. What did people think of Raven’s Game? Would you read a third entry? Please try to do so without spoilers too because there might be those who waited until everything was up.
Legends of Windemere 
I don’ scare with blood and guts… especially in that quantity 😉 But I loved the intrigue of the storyline…and will be disappointed if I don’t get to the bottom of it all next year 😉

I’ll do my best to create a worthy continuation. Need time to figure things out considering the finale.

Yes, that could go off in many directions 🙂

Once I find the focal point, I should do fine. The last one was a headache until I focused on Dawn.

I would. I always fear missing a page, but managed to keep up just fine.

Thanks. All I need to do is figure out who to follow in the next one. Dawn, Gemma, new person?

I thought it was good. This is your Friday the 13th series, and Dawn is your Jason.

Very interesting comparison. Does that mean I have to make her go into space?

Ha. That would be good!!! I can see a space station with a lot of people who suddenly die in interesting ways.
Seriously, you could do so many stories!

One of the traditions of slasher horror seems to be going to the point of ridiculousness. Not sure I want to go that far though.

I would read the next set. I really liked the Dawn and Gemma relationship. I wonder if Dawn could ever corrupt Gemma and maybe if not a fellow officer of Gemma’s. Just a thought.

Still not sure how that’s going to work. Things might go back to the mystery threat and eeriness of the first one to cover what’s going on. I feel the decision has to be some kind of twist.

I think she could, if Gemma felt she was doing it for the right reasons (eg to save someone). The ethical dilemmas would sure be fun to read.
Also, I kept up just fine, Charles. As I’m subscribed to the blog, I received the installments by email, which was perfect. I don’t normally read horror, but I’ll read anything by you 🙂

Thanks. Gemma getting corrupted would be interesting. She’s definitely strong-willed, but this is foreign territory. Dawn isn’t even sure about what’s happening and is simply going with the flow. Just imagining a world where half the population has been corrupted by Dawn.

Maybe she’s a fan or I’m being used by multiple entities. Dawn takes over for a bit while I’m jacked into Windemere for the rest of the year. Bedlam is just an alternate reality that we either narrowly missed or are heading into.

I agree with you, Nicholas. I don’t read fantasy, horror, or sci-fi. I would call my choices Yallowitz genre cause I read all of his. 😀

I really enjoyed it. Personally, I like my horror more on the suspense side than the gore side. Every day I knew I had something great to read. Definitely would love the story to continue next year!

I’m hoping to come up with a third story. I managed to do decent suspense in the first one and hit the gore with eeriness in the second. The third is going to be an attempt to combine them. For some reason, I want to have a cabin or campground be the location, but that feels far too over done.
