A terrible plague, born of blood, has begun to spread throughout Manehattan, and the only one who can put an end to the spread is a suffering showmare. Set in the Pony Dreadful 'Verse
Hmm? Nobody else has commented yet? Then allow me to be the first. Have to say, when I saw the cover before reading the description, I thought this would be about some sort of Lovecraftian horror from the depths.
As always, I'm really impressed with you vocabulary, I had no idea there was a part of ships called "beaks". Also, I didn't know griffons were believers of the Ása (or Æsir) faith, or of Hel at least. Imagine my surprise.
Have to say though, I don't usually read gory stories, hardly even horror stories except some few exceptions (like the Silent Ponyville series), so I can't decide right now if I'll follow this, but I'll keep my eyes on where it goes, then decide. This does live up to the level of excellence I've come to expect from your writing though (and that is not a backhanded compliment ), so I have nothing to say against the quality, it's just the contents I'm a little wary of, but as always I would never judge a story based on that, especially so early. So we will have to wait and see. I certainly will.
Edit: Also, your descriptions of the vampires are incredibly similar to an antagonist me and a friend of mine created when we were younger, years ago. Mummified look with a mouth that is practically just a large gash covered in rows a large sharp teeth, and eyes that are like slits in the skin, though our guy had no eyeballs, just holes. It was almost freaky what a flashback that gave me.
Thank you for commenting, Mister angel. I'm glad that you'll give this a shot. And the plot will kick off in the next chapter, where we'll meet Trixie.
As for the gore, well this IS a splatterpunk-style story, so it will continue to be gory, but I hope the journey is good enough to keep you invested. This is, as I said, a part of a 'Verse, so if you don't like this one, then maybe the other two will be better suited for your tastes, though I think that this story is definitely going to feature characters from those previous stories.
My only regret about that verse is that no-one besides my and Kinder's Kreig seem to be contributing, maybe you might like to write a story for the 'Verse?
Also, I'm glad that my Vampires got some reaction fro you, it's good when monsters can illicit ANY emotion,. Though I doubt that I can make anything as scary as The Babadook, but that's a review fro my blog sometime.
Thanks fro the comment and I hope you'll stick with the story
I haven't actually read the other Dreadful 'Verse stories before, though Seeing Monsters has been in my Read Later-list (where it promptly got lost in the ocean of unread fics ). Maybe I should give those a once over. Now that you've asked, I actually find myself thinking of possible stories, but I would need to get a feel for the 'Verse before I commit to it. I also really need to focus on my current story first if I want to get it done. But who knows, sky's the limit and all that jazz.
Also, don't call me Mister Angel, no need to be so formal with me Just Red or something like that will do. We're all friends here after all, right?.
I don't think i've ever heard of the term splatter punk before... i like it. I have high hopes for this story, it started off very well. Can't wait to see ow GnPT deals with this interpritation of the living dead.
