Letters ¦ Devil’s Spring, positive feedback on this cyberpunk horror that centres around a group of BASE jumpers who go somewhere they shouldn’t

Some great feedback about this cyberpunk horror short story, Devil’s Spring.

You have such a way of making any setting and environment Real and believable. Fast paced while still retaining strong characters that have their own little history to insinuate without ever having to relay the nitty gritty details. I could imagine the rush of falling alongside the waterfall, flushed from the adrenaline matched with the chill of the moisture and rushing air. It seems like a story that could have more to tell, although it is wrapped up very neatly. I’d like to see more like this one, that’s for certain.

Another job well done! :)

Djr Note: following this response from the review,  I went into the draft version of the story and performed a little surgery where it was necessary.  The story now gets a lot more love…
