Those were some intense stakes! And to bet it all on the flip of a coin 😨 Great story!

After reading so many different writing styles with The Grisly Ghost of Gruesome Time, I realize how much I like your writing style. Your stories are cohesive and your style impeccable. You are capable of writing a really good novel Anthony!

I loved this piece. It stands on its own as a short story yet has the potential to be a great fantasy chronicle. There is so much backstory waiting to be told, as well as the long story that won't be complete until the human realm is truly saved (or not?).

Looking forward to more of your stories!

Always nice to meet another fiction substack author. Interesting concept of how magic might need to work! Looking forward to your next work

I enjoyed this, a single pivotal moment in a larger conflict, with a cool approach to magic. The bits of context felt like just enough to know what was going on and still have a bit to imagine. Reading about the development of the story was also a nice feature.

This had some powerful, yet believable stakes. The pacing pulled me right along and I couldn’t not read it. Bravo! I enjoy your stories very much, Anthony.

Wow! Thanks for the shoutout. That means so much! Glad you’re enjoying Crocodilian despite its flaws haha. I’m working on a revised edition that I hope will be greatly improved.

Keep up the great work and I love the name “Stories From Another Realm”. Has a nice ring to it.
