Author's Note
I would just like to thank everybody who read and followed this story. I could not have done it without the support of my readers who gave me both constructive feedback and support. Were it not for you, this story would not have been as good as a lot of you say that it is. I would also like to let the people who don't know, know that the first few chapters of the sequel are up and if anypony liked this one, I think they will like the sequel story as well. Here it is:

There's a sequel? Yay!
I've been following this story since it's popped up on the New Stories list.
Needless to say, this is one of the best fics that I've ever read.
Thank you for writing such a wonderful story, it was definitely a good read, and a change of pace from my normal reading habits (Pure adventure and Action). So far, the sequel is looking to be equal to or greater than this story, which is a good thing. Keep on improving, and keep on writing!
1347469 Trust me, this is WAY more Dexter than Cupcakes. Yes there is some graphic gore, but it is a smaller part of a larger story. It's 95% Rarity as a character and probably under 5% gore. Most chapters don't have any.
1347724 Yeah, and you don't need to read the gore if you don't want to. You will miss none of the story if you do. There is only gore because, well, she's a serial killer.
1347844 Up to you I guess, but seriously, if you skip chapter 8 you're mostly done with the extremely violent chapters.
Ah, she had her last chance and didn't take it. Quite a bloody delight. Thanks for finishing it.
1368705 No, thank you for reading! I couldn't have done it without my readers!
This was truly incredible. It may have took me a month or two to read but it was amazing.
First of all, I loved how you went all the way to the end of the story, right down to the toes where Rarity was finally executed. I got chills when I read the ending.
Second, the plot flowed along very nicely. I could really picture it in my mind what was going on. I think I might write a song about this story even. Perhaps practice it on the keyboard I want for my birthday, which is coming up soon
Overall, this is brilliant. Congrats, you now have a loyal fan.
1429790 Thank you very much! If you ever write that song, let me know. I'm glad you loved it so much!
I just saw this, and instantly, my ideas for a fanfic died. What was it? A story based on American Psycho... starring Rarity. Seeing this just killed all chances of me writing that. Ah well...
time to read, I guess.
1496651 Well just read it and then decide if its the same thing. If mine is different enough from your idea then best of luck writing it! I hope you enjoy this one at any rate!
1496657 The main character of American Psycho has to balance his business life, his friends, and his murderous urges. He also has good looks. Either way, I'd rather not write it now since a psychotic, murderous Rarity story exists. Ah well... *Reads*
All I can say is... WOW!
This story was incredible! And very sad at the end.
Though I am not normally a big fan of this genre of fiction, this story has become my all time favorite fanfiction of any fandom out there.
1545510 Wow...I'm honored! I only wish more people knew about it, this is my personal favorite work. Have you started the sequel yet?
1545662 Starting chapter 3 next, and I have to say that the sequal is hitting even harder than this one did.
I was wonderin, have you considered seeing whether Equestria Publications (the same ones that are putting Pen Stroke's Past Sins into print) might be interested? As much as I am a fan of that story, this one blew it out of the water.
1545890 Few things with that: 1. I think it is too violent. Eq. Daily won't touch this one nor would sites like Ponychan so I don't know if Eq. Publications would take it wither for the same reasons. 2. It's too obscure. They announce that they're printing this and nopony is going to have any idea of what they are talking about. 3. I don't know if it would meet anypony's standards quality-wise for that kind of thing. Don't get me wrong, I would adore it if they did but I don't see how it would happen. I unfortunately see this one being doomed to relative obscurity within the fandom (Not that I'm not going to do everything in my power to get it out there).
1547751 Would you be offended if I sent the people of EP the link to this story?
As for being published by a small time publishing company... one of the books I am looking to purchase for myself is an original (1984) Naval Institute Press copy of Tom Clancey's The Hun For Red October.
Yes, enen the great ones started somewhere lol
1547883 I would not be offended in the slightest. After all, you are entirely correct; the great ones all started somewhere. Do be sure to let me know what they think!
I shall send them the link, and hopefully, they will make this a nother book from this fandom
1548011 Isn't it just Past Sins and Fallout: Equestria?
I neveknew they did another book other than the one that is goin into print this month (and hopefully, I shall have my copy before Hearthswarming Eve arrives)
1548269 I thought I read something about Fallout: Equestria getting published too. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/07/fallout-equestria-hardcover-books.html At any rate, tell me what they say one way or the other (and I mean that) and if they say nothing, tell me that too.
1548345 I will definately keep you informed. Lol that way, at a Brony con someday, I can claim to be the one who convinced the Dean R. Koontz of MLP fandom to finally get published!
1548435 I don't know if I'm THAT good...
1548444 Potentially, yes you are. Hell, this story, as is, is of higher quality than anything Stephen King writes.
Also, you seem like a decent guy, and having met Mr. King, I can honestly say he is a flank! Lol
All right, that's it. I'm outta here. WAAAAAAY too intense for me.
I loved every second of this fic.
you will last in my heart(i know is a fic,but... 
)
the emotions that you gave me,i felt like i was going to butchered by rarity as well as i felt her fear when she was captured,in her dream and as in the last chapters,the fear to confront her friends and twilight...
everything you written was just so perfectly molded.
rarity...
P.S. you could help me to write a story of murders? of course i couldn't reach your level,but any help would be appreciated :)
1824661 Yeah, the 'murder vs self-defense' aspect of these three kills definitely comes into play a little going forward. I mean, yeah, Dug was definitely self-defense and in no society would that be wrong but Annie for sure was just straight up murder. Thanks for reading and I hope you like it going forward!
1824729 Yeah, well, her mom was a witness so what was she going to do in the end, I suppose? And yeah, I'd rather have you angry than bored.
Claudere vocant? "They invite to close"? Google translate suggests "close call", but that's really not what it says. At all.
Perhaps "Calamitas Vix Aversa", "a narrowly averted disaster"?
1825103 Look, I've never made it a secret about what kind of story this is. It's a dark, gory story but I hope you at least enjoy the ending.
1824904 Is that what it means? Hmm...
1825973
Oh, it might also say "They invite to limp or hesitate". Both verbs have the same spelling (though slightly different pronunciation) in the infinitive.
voco, vocare: to call, summon, invite
claudo, claudere: to close, shut, or bar; to conclude; to imprison
claudeo, claudere: to limp; to waver or hesitate
So maybe also "They call (someone) to imprison (that person)", though really awkward phrasing.
1826056 Not FROM, TO Ponyville and even then it's not permanent. Besides, what did you expect? She knew Rarity was killing.
1826140
Twilight defines herself as the Princess' protege, what did she do for the last 10 years? And I wasn't made clear, was she barred from any contact with her at all?
1828193 Are you talking about in the sequel?
1829093
I suppose I am, which in hindsight might not have been the best thing to address in this story.
1829178 Maybe not. But at any rate, she was the Ponyville librarian. As for her contact with Celestia, 1. Twilight's contact isn't really important to the story, and 2. she isn't banned from all contact, but I don't see why she'd want to for a while unless she absolutely needed to.
1829196
Yeah I guess that's what I wanted to think. It really does seem silly to bug you over a detail that appeared in your fanfic lol. I'm terribly sorry for getting a little too invested there.
1829322 No, you're fine. I'd rather that than boredom.
1829334
Perhaps, but it was still pretty immature on my part. You may or may not have noticed that I left some passionate comments on several chapters ^^;
1840949 Well that's a relief I have had a few people turned off by chapter 7 in particular but if you can stand gore then you should really like this...I hope. Thanks for reading!
1852065 Glad somebody noticed that. I have this thing stuffed with references (most not at blatant as that one) and nopony seems to catch them.
1852118 Yep. That's the chapter that most people stop. But you are through the worst of it in terms of gore. Not to say that there aren't other gory chapters, there are, but you just finished the goriest one.
I gobbled this story up over the course of half a day. This is perhaps the best written story I have read so far, and far and away better than anything I have written. Truly a masterpiece in my opinion, and worthy of far more thumbs up than I can give. Will start reading your sequel to this.
1853532 Yeah, well, Celestia had already sentenced one EoH to death so I doubt she was keen on punishing another, especially not Twilight.
1853544 Thanks! I hope you like it and the ending that I have planned for it. No one knows this yet, but I'm tossing around a threequel.
1913769 I never address who went where. I also never address if the ponies she saw were figments of her imagination and thus her way of confronting her guilt of if they were her actual victims coming down from paradise. If you think the first is better then go with that one. That whole scene is up to your interpretation.
1915272No need to use that kind of language, all it does is make you seem immature. Not everyone likes torture and gore. You see, if Rarity was hunting actual criminals, say, rapists and the like, I'd be fine with it, because those bastards deserved it. However, torturing and murdering characters like Trixie and Gilda(who are jerky, but otherwise innocent), I am not ok with. I completely fine with gory scenes, but not if the plot revolves around killing innocent characters.
1916014 Yeah I wouldn't. 1. describing the graphic murder of a mother and child is too far and 2. it's far more powerful if I cut it off there.
