Reviews for The Beast in the Cave

[morcys · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Fear of the unknown. The amount of psychological fear implemented in the story made its ending very predictable.

2.5
The narrator, in his infinite wisdom, got separated from his group while they were following their guide through the caves. He wasn't aware there are so many tunnels. Soon he lost his light too. Nobody heard his screams.
Then he heard the sound. The last words are written in capital letters followed by a couple of exclamation marks. It ruined the story.
