I would say putting it on his channel is better than going the old school publishing route. It reaches a bigger audience immediately, and nobody has time for physical books anymore it seems. Good job.
Bravo Dr. Creepin! I really dig this story! I thought the brother was the hellhound for a long time. I loved the twists, turns, and descriptive elements are really your speciality. Somebody in the comments wrote they could see this being a series and I think they are right. This has the potential for more (if the writer is up for it). Very potent with the hellhound/dog running alongside the parents in the beginning. Was this foreshadowing of the events that were to happen that night, was it to show the parents part in the downfall of this entire family? You brought it full circle. I would have liked to hear more about how they managed to drug the parents as there was no mention of them (unless I missed it). However, it might be good to use this at a later time in order to expand on this story if you should ever decide to. Maybe more as to why? I can understand greed but maybe there's more to it? I think I like this one even better than the last! Also, don't wear yourself out, writing IS exhausting! I'm so proud of you! Fist bump!
Thank you for your very kind words. Actually, the name of the mansion was mentioned by the tourist guide as the destination for the paranormal tour in my previous story 'life's an ocean.' If I have time to continue writing, I like this idea of a very loose anthology.
@@DrCreepen Ah, well there you go! I'm sure there are a multitude of "tip of the iceberg" (or below, whatever) commonalities or threads to connect them together! The possibilities really are endless. Hey, there's no timeline when you have to do it...whenever you have time or whenever the mood strikes. As long as you're feeling it! 💯
You sir are an incredible writer!! You had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I absolutely love stories with a twist and that one was amazing!! Keep up the great work, you are extremely talented!!
Congrats! Well, written story! Really enjoyed it. Keep presenting you own creations! A prequel concerning the family back story and history of the Hell Hound and why it stalks the family would be great!
As I was listening, I could feel the love for the language and a tone of sophistication that I enjoy. It is absolutely delightful to hear that this is one of your own! Thank you for sharing, and I will keep my ears perked for more.
Thank you DR Creepen for the awesome pasta. I loved this one. Excellent work on both the story and narration. This and the one lighthouse did definitely made my day.🖤🖤🖤🖤
This was pretty good dude. I agree with the other commenters, it definitely needs a trimming in the adverbs and adjectives department, and also the clauses about things being ‘signs of’ or ‘a testament to’ something. I don’t think they add all that much and at times it can make the story feel sort of, meta? Less immersive? Also, one thing that helps is describing things more specifically - not necessarily just in more detail. Names of places, a strange blouse someone’s wearing, the hole in the car’s bumper - the love child of an unfortunately placed bollard and rust corrosion. That kinda stuff. I hope this feedback is useful!
Boy that nom de plume is a mouthful Doc!😂 but seriously… it was a very entertaining story. I’m always interested in stories about dogs, vampires, werewolves,(!) & witches so winning formula for me & then you write about home as well! ♥️♥️😎✌️
*Black Wolf Hellhound gets up in Jeff and Smile's faces closeup at the boy and his husky pup and best friend* Wolf like Hellhound: *deep booming voice* NOW YOU ARE MINE Jeff and his husky pup and best friend Smile hang onto each other on the destroyed boat Hellhound: *laughing evilly*
I lived near York, been there so many times! First Perth story I've heard 😊 I was born here, cheers! ❤ also I lived and worked at a racing stanle, south of where I am now, in Serpentine when I was younger... 5am starts. One morning we were feeding and it was still dark, we were halfway through the front paddocks when a HUGE dark dog came out of nowhere. The horses were all unsettled and we ran back to the buildings to get help. That's all I remember.
Great story that hit close to home for me. My hometown has a legend of a Hellhound who was summoned by a local witch to guard the cemetery and woods where she lived.
Doctor, you did a fantastic job narrating this story, as usual, though I think you had a little bit of extra drive for this tale! Please thank our author, Darius McCorkindale for the excellent story! I do hope that he will grace us with at least one sequel to this fine tale! (Maybe, even a prequel? We do not yet know what caused their parents to see and hear the Beast before their fatal accident!) 😅
Great work good Dr, while some may not like the Victorianesque descriptive style I fully enjoyed it, I grew up reading Lovecraft, Poe, Stoker, Shelly, etc so I appreciate the details and the tale itself is very good, as I've said before I look eagerly forward to more of your own works Thank you dear Dr for another dark dream that warms my 🖤
I have to say Doc that your end wrap up which you always do, upon your own work, was my exact thoughts as well. There was a slight bit of overly descriptive language and although it wasn’t “perfect”, as if such a thing exists, it was definitely outstanding. I mean a twist within a twist within a twist? How many people can pull that off? Very few! And it just so happens that you fall into the category of those select few. I sincerely applaud your efforts and hold your works both the written and narrative in the highest esteem. Always have and always will! Cheers for a story that held my attention from Manhattan all the way to my home in the Bronx! And that in itself is quite a feat! However as I also mentioned about the ultimate Hell creature, the Hell Cat, my own personal Hell Cat did hear the end 15 minutes and I swear I heard him chuckle at the dogs attack. As in how weak it was compared to what he would have done to every soul who stepped foot onto the grounds, including the Dog itself. What most aren’t aware of is that the Hell Hounds are vicious creatures of the underworld. Yet even they know when their superior is present and shall obey accordingly. Oh it’s a sight to behold! Thank you for your time and service for our community of listeners, and it always delivers in such fine style! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
That was good from start to finish. When I was younger I had been a big fan of Poe and Lovecraft. I thoroughly enjoyed the 'overly descriptive' (your words not mine) part in the beginning. It all worked together well.
Happy Monalicious 👻Monday Everyone:)...Thanks 💙 Dr. Creepens for 101:00 minutes of your Heavenly voice 😇🥰😇 and cheers 🥂 for the Incredible Narration and story 🤟🏼💙🖤🤟🏼 be safe everyone okay 💋 much love Sexy Grandma Darkness ✌🏼❤️
Great job! You always put just the right amount of sound effects in. Love the cars rolling by at the beginning. 🛣️🛻.. the effects volume is just right also for those of us being lulled to sleep. I've tried other narrators with no success. You are the only one that I listen to ❤
This was an excellent story, very well done! The only constructive criticism I can offer is the use of the phrase "his protective instincts" used too much, where it could have been changed slightly as to not sound redundant. However, this in no way detracts from the enjoyment of the story. The ending was perfect and satisfying. Ironically, I listened to the story while my own black dog, a doberman, slept in my lap. She is very protective of me, but I would never want to be on the receiving end of such a dog's teeth. Black dogs are amazing, both real and fictitious ones. 🖤 I once saw the more mystical black dog during an episode of sleep paralysis as well, and that was pretty cool. (Being a fan of supernatural horror, and having plenty of experiences under my belt, I'm pretty desensitized, haha)
"That's a big sturdy door. Are you sure it wasn't the wind?" If it's sturdy enough to withstand the attack of a dog how is the wind gonna blow it open by accident? Other than that it's a great story ❤️
A Dr Creepen original? Oh hell yes sign me up! Now a Hell Hound is quite the terror. However, they all answer in full and without question to the Hell Cat. The ruler of all Hell born animal creatures. They are NOT to be trifled with. I may just write their story myself? That would require a Re entry into the world of the penologist. Not sure I’m ready to get back in…
Critical analysis: The premise and structure is sound. Character, setting, plot and theme also good; however, at times, too many adjectives and adverbs. Overall, good work!
Thanks! Yes, it was a bit overly descriptive in places; that became painfully obvious when I started narrating it! Otherwise, I think the secondary characters of Helen and Joe could have done more. They were there as red herrings who could have been up to something, but I'd like to have woven them into the plot a bit more.
Overall I enjoyed the story. It wasn't quite as engaging as the last, though I can't give a specific reason. In terms of writing there were two things that stood out. You already mentioned that it was excessively descriptive at points, so I won't bang on about that. The second point seems more relevant in this case - which is the excessive repetition of words, phrases, and concepts. It is inevitable that an author will reuse or repeat some phrasing, but particularly doing so in a short time span or (as in this case) within the same passage typically detracts from the piece as a whole or may become an annoyance to the audience. I would recommend editing these in post rather than trying to alter your first draft as it can be a stumbling block in the creative process to constantly stop and look for a new way to present the material. Personally, I find it much easier (and faster) to locate instances afterwards and then plug in revisions after I've completed the first pass. Though it's not a hard rule, people tend to ignore repetition of nouns, pronouns, conjunctions and prepositions. Prepositions less so than the others. Verbs, adjectives, adverbs and adnouns tend to receive greater scrutiny and should be varied in more deliberate fashion. In this case, there are a few instances of overusing nouns and several of repeated phrases (specifically descriptive phrases). The majority of that repetition can be found within the descriptive passages. My apologies if that sounded overly critical, I genuinely enjoyed the story. I do hope you find my input helpful.
This would adapt well as a series

I've been a back road truck driver and a hitchhiker. I can tell you all about black dogs. Don't travel tired y'all.
Overall I enjoyed the story. It wasn't quite as engaging as the last, though I can't give a specific reason. In terms of writing there were two things that stood out.
