Great chapter. I assume that when Gwen flew out of the mirror it was back into her body. I hope we get to see her again before the end of the chapter (And Grandfather too, muahaha).
They went all to pieces, I wonder how many years of bad luck Peter has now. That was a huge amount of mirrors to break. Though smashing the magic one would give good luck. Given the family curse probably till he gets old at leasts.
Oh well, there goes the idea of ghost scouts... :P
I dunno, MistyCat, I think the simple sentence worked. You already know something momentous will happen when the crack reaches the frame, so the sentence telling you that it has happened doesn't need to be overly-dramatised. Your brain does that for you :D
MistyCat - Hmmmm, I'll take it under advisement. The only thing I would do would be to change the sentence to "it reached the edge" or something similar. I want something simple, declarative - the extreme close up, and then BAM! cut to every mirror exploding.
AnakMoon - That's true. Dill should be drenched by now...
And your animation is AWESOME! That ROCKS! How did you get that shot of Grandfather? Did you do a screensave on one of the YouTube videos?
It was super cool. If it's fine with you, I think I'm going to post it at the beginning of the next story, after we finish up the drama of the current one...
Superb!
Anonymous - You got it, Seamus Flanagan. Or Flannagan...I can never remember how I spell it...
Rai - I agree with you about AnakMoon! Thank you on the chapter! Regarding Gwen: hmmmmmm...
daymon34 - I thought about that...it's a LOT of bad luck. However, I think you're right, smashing the evil one makes it a wash.
Cat - Ah, well, we still haven't done "Peter And The Ghosts" yet...
Thanks for the backup on the it/it sentence. I thought it was clear...
Um the Muse - ...but not everybody did. If it was jarring to two of you guys, then I could probably stand to soften it a little.
PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

"Then…it reached it."
Come on, Darren! You can do better than that. :-)

Go Peter! Here's to dry pants after watching all of that!
Do we know Grandfathers name?
Oh! a quickie for the I<3Grandfather club.
It's Seamus Flanagan, isn't it? The Father from the church used his name...
Thank you Peter. =]
Yeeees! Excellent AnakMoon!

I agree with MistyCat: that part was a little jarring because you used "it" to refer to two different things.
