I guess I know who wrote this one, even though there is no name. As usual, it so very well written, but scares the bejeepers out of me. :-)

Comment from Samuel Dickens
This sounds a lot like a guy that used to bunk next to me on the old Saratoga. Then again, navy chow can cause some pretty bad dreams.

Comment from judiverse
Excellent rhyme and flow in this creepster. The word choice adds to the spooky effect, too. the blood-crusted fangs and fiery, ferocious eyes. Although they are deadly creatures, you do show a sympathetic touch. They are a tortured, unholy brood. This should be a stand-out in the contest. judi

Thanks, Judiverse. I've always viewed them as creatures to be sympathized with. Many had no choice in becoming what they eventually became, at least, as legend goes...

Comment from Righteous Riter
Good use of the aabb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good alliteration with dark/deep...cob-webbed/crypts...fangs/fed...better/be...deep/demons...ferocious/fiery. Good descriptive words that draw a clear imaginary in my mind. Good work.

Hi the author
A suitably blood thirsty creature lurking in your lines waiting for the moment or the victim. A good offering for All Hallow's Eve.
Nicely done.

Comment from Rondeno
It fulfills the brief, sure enough - but aren't these cliches of so-called "horror" rather threadbare? It's all so lifelessly familiar (the imagery, rather than your rendition of it - which, in fairness, is quite lively.)

Yes, they are a bit cliché, I suppose. Thanks so much for your honest review, my friend. I appreciate it!
Comment from livelylinda
Author: this is a six star all the way, but, of course, I am out. This poem is the most creepy one I've seen this Halloween time. The music is delicious. The colors alone frightening and that picture is what nightmares are made of. This is a winner! livelylinda

Comment from brentman99
A nice poem with a great picture. I like the use of black and red in the body and text and think it works well. The flow is good. One small point I have is should it not be blood-crusted? Thanks for sharing, Brent.

Hah ha, I just had to wait until after the contest was over to respond to your spot-on review, Bob...How on earth did you know it was me, LOL?
You should see it now, as it was originally. I changed it based on a complaint that said it made it too easy for me to be identified. I always thought all's fair in love and war... Oh well, I changed it to keep the peace.
Thanks again, my friend!
