You certainly are the king of fear. Though I'm not into the horror genre, I always read your work. It is original, clever and frightfully imaginative. I would love to see inside your mind. Please delete that last sentence. I'm afraid of what I might see.
Work of your quality inspires me. You really do deserve to be published.
Have a great 2015

Thxs for all this confirmation for being a horror writer, even though it appears to be a recent find for you or is that acceptance?, I'm sure that most fs readers of your work have known for some time now that you are "The Horror Writer". lol
always appreciate your non violent, okay somewhat gushy, types of poems that you post.
keep on keeping on, write Dean, write.

Haven't quite got my six stars replenished, yet - otherwise, you'd have one for sure!
You are the best at what you do, Dean - no one spins horror like you do. I love this piece, the rhythm is wonderful and the message is one that crawls under the skin and stays there a while... (can you call it back home now? Please? it's overstaying its welcome now...)
One little nit-pick (you know I've got to have SOME little thing to point out!)
it's then that you'll belong to me. (original)
vs.
it's then that you'll belong with me. (suggestion)
I make this suggestion because the first section of the work uses your own voice... and you tell the reader how some dark and evil entity has gotten inside your head and changed you from what you were... to a writer of horror. So, in my mind, I want to differentiate between you, and the OTHER that has changed you. Since I, the reader, has now gone into your head and been entrapped as well - do I now belong to you, or to the OTHER that has entrapped you (i.e.... now I'm stuck there with you...)
Oh heck... this was WAY too much work trying to explain... kindly disregard - it's fine the way it is!
Cheers!

Thanks, Rebekka x, and I do attempt to write other things besides horror from time to time. In fact, I haven't really written anything all too horrific lately, but I'm working on it, heh-heh...

Great write. You are most creative and with awesome description of how one might find themselves in the clutches of a ghoul that's only objective is to scare and disfigure their faces or dismember their bodies to only find satisfaction at the person's expense---their own lives

In my humble opinion, Dean, your writing lends this site the colour it needs. Without you stirring up our peaceful dreams, our days would be very dull. Your skilled writing is always entertaining and I love this piece you have put here, excellent metered and rhyming lines that would bring a smile, (and a shiver,) to the most ardent reader, Giddy

I am always impressed by work that is exceptional, and your poetry fits the genre. I am not a fan of being scared, hate the dark side, but love how effortlessly you create your passionate poetry.
Well done.

I love that you embrace your calling. Good use of first person in this. Made me fear you or the narrator more. I feel a little disconnected when things are in third person. Good imagery and very cool build up. Great work. Gretchen

Not my cup of tea but I did enjoy reading this and I got the horror feeling of read this. Someone needs to write it because someone out there is waiting to read it. Great job friend

Perfection within these lines
But should we expect no less?
It's in darkness your light shines
Tangled, twisted, tasty mess
Blood drenched fangs, sharpened claws wait
Monsters, mayhem now are seen
In his hands he holds your fate
Nightmares courtesy of Dean
Enjoyed peeking inside your brain! Congrats on the blue ribbon and seal!!!!
