Decent, but def not a Borrasca or Penpal.

[Mohab Hariry · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun horror story with interesting elements, I liked the anticipation of not knowing what the next door will bring (activates the fear of the unknown)

[Ash · Rating 4 out of 5]

the first part was great and one of the best cliffhanger endings i’ve read and part 2 was another great addition. Honestly just read without part 3

This here is brilliant it shows that creepypastas also got a life.

An incredible idea severely bogged down by really poor writing. Twists like the protagonist arriving home only to find more rooms to the No-End House are really clever, and so is making the "final" room a clone of himself he has to murder, but repeated failures to show-don't-tell (On multiple occasions, the narrator flat-out states "I was feeling suicidal" or "I wanted to puke" which is the least scary way to create horror) make the affair so much less scary. It's a story I really want to root for because I think it's such a good idea with some moments that could be so scary, but it just falls short from an amateur writer.

the ending of this was 🤌🏻 chefs kiss.

i listened & read this through the CreepCast with Wendigoon & Papa Meat.

i really enjoyed this. the idea was unique & i loved the subtle hints towards Dantes Inferno.

the writing was juvenile but that’s to be expected considering the fact it started as a Creepypasta. well done to the writer in an intriguing short story that grabbed attention quick & wasted no time. i can overlook the writing with how different the plotline was & the nods to Dante’s Inferno. overall, 3.5 stars!

very fun :) liked all of the religious elements. narration is good enough for me and i thought the horrors were cool, the ending was perfect. so yeah i had fun with this :)

One of my favorite endings in this genre. Honestly dont remember part 2 well and part 3 is unfinished I believe. Just stop after the first because it is really good.

Some bits do feel under explained or like they could be written a little better. I honestly prefer the lack of world building and answers to questions (cough cough part 3 isnt good) because that isn't the focus of it. Simple premise to then explore more interesting things.

Definitely up there in the genre but not the best which makes sense given the time this was written.

This is a short but powerful story.  I just love how something very simple can get so complex.  We start with what looks like a simple haunting house, but it soon becomes obvious that it's much more than that.  We get inside, and then we don't know what the hell is going on.  The ending is perfect and typical of this kind of stories, we don't know exactly what's going on, or what the hell happened, but that's perfect.

3.0/5.0
Creepcast brought this old horror story to my attention and I did enjoy reading it. One of my early horror experiences was 1408, and if you are familiar with that story, you will be familiar with the tropes and elements this story uses. And its not a rip off in a bad way, but it does mean that, for me, I am overly familiar with where the story is going. But hey, its a good ending twist either way.

I listened to the short story + commentary on it through a podcast for a long car ride and enjoyed it. The story was pretty predictable, but considering it’s an older story that has been retold makes sense. Not too bad, it made the drive go by faster, but I think that was the commentary’s doing

[Rylee · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was.... Fine. Got into action way too quickly and basically no history on the house whatsoever. Just that people don't make it past the 9th room. The description of the rooms and the atmosphere was well done. There just wasn't enough content.

[lilian · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5⭐️ Didn’t love this one, unfortunately.

The Dante’s Inferno references were kinda fun, and I thought the ending was very strong. However, I don’t think the story really clicked with me.

-the rooms all have some unique things going on, the ideas are all well executed

[Elliot Ramsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

it's alright.

[Andrew · Rating 3 out of 5]

Solid for a Reddit story, I like the ideas behind it and think it could be built on very well

[FINAL GIRL · Rating 3 out of 5]

would love if there was more to it, but it's no biggie that there isn't. decent

[Liv Fair · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another one through Creepcast. A super quick read with simple writing. I was interested to see what was behind each door and how they rapidly progressed. Life long trauma for a $500 gift card lol.

[Katie White · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is another one I would have to re-listen to/ read this one to give a more fair rating. I wasn’t entirely locked in while listening to this on CreepCast.

[J · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pure mental torture for the character in this story. The fear of the unknown played a huge part in this. LOVED this CreepCast episode. The ending of the story was a chefs kiss for me.

[Rowan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lovely ending. Chefs kiss

Estimated minimum page count: 66.2

It started out so uniquely terrifying, surreal and hellish, but by the "end" it gets too Joss Whedon for me. It was never finished, so you are left hanging with so many unanswered questions. Still, worth checking out. Just keep the unsatisfying ending in mind.

[Ethan Park · Rating 3 out of 5]

The writing wasn't necessarily great, but still a fun story, loved the ending

[Jonathan Folkers · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice ending pretty unnerving at times
