The Creepypasta Review

No, not The creepypasta review, THE creepypasta review, no wait, I mean the story is called "The" and this is a creepypasta review. I really should put quotation marks around the titles.

Anyway, last review of ghost story month, does this one count? Whatever I'm counting it anyway because, the CP Wiki has one of the least interesting ghost story catalogues I have ever seen. I mean if you want proof of that just look at my previous review, there was barely a ghost in that story. It's also a rare treat that this falls exactly on Halloween, there is only one thing that could make this review more beautiful.

So as I implied, this one didn't come from the CP Wiki, this on actually came from DeviantArt itself. That's right, this is the fourth creepypasta that came from this site, although the first was fanfiction, it was still good fanfiction. This particular pasta wasn't requested like the last two, I was randomly searching and came across it, I found it was interesting in more than just the story.

The story is called "The" pronounced "Th-ee" and it was written by , I don't think this is the writer's first effort, but if it is it's a pretty good one.

Now the story is about a book spirit (Named "The"), who haunts books and traps the readers inside of her own book to read their memories as stories. To be fair, that is what I would be doing if I were a ghost.

The story has a weird writing style that personally I'm not very fond of. It's written in this strange, kind of second person point of view. I think I get it, like it's almost trying to describe something to you, the reader, but when I read all I can think is that I'm describing the story to somebody else, which doesn't really make it too scary. However, it is not as bad a writing style as The 6th which shot itself in the foot with it's writing style.

I don't want to say this writing style makes it unique, but it does make it different. I guess you're supposed to fill in the blanks yourself, which is kind of unique.

However, that is probably the only negative I have, I actually really love the psychological aspect of the beginning, how you notice "The" being capitalized, but when you turn away it returns to being lower-case. The imagery is also great, which is impressive when you try to write two stories simultaneously, as "You" are trying to read a book, so we get the extracts from the book along side the actual story.

I really think there should be an alternate version that's written in first person, because I feel like there is a character of a narrator in here, but then again I didn't write this so I wouldn't know if that would make it better or worse.

That is the thing with these kind of DA creepypasta, they are written how the writer wants to see them, and as a writer myself I understand that joys of writing something you want to write, in the style you like. This particular style won't appeal to everyone, but even if it isn't your cup of tea, I still recommend it.

The story has a cool idea, is well written and while I'm not huge on the writing style, it does make it different. Plus, you don't have to go searching deep for it, as it's on DeviantArt, I can give you the link right here: The (Creepypasta)

I give this story 7/10. Wait, I wonder what would happen is "The" and "Sadako" met...

Oh well, my previous review to show why Ghost Story Month was not easy with then CP Wiki this year was Caribou

And, I'm not sure which of my other DA creepypasta reviews I should share, Wanna see a magic trick or The past should stay buried.

Oh and, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
