"Peter And The Morgue" Page 1 and 2



PETER AND THE MORGUE

Buy the ebook PETER AND THE FRANKENSTEIN on Kindle, Nook, or Smashwords!




Just a warning: it will be a bit dark...

And not proofread at all. Which will be extra scary.

Sounds like Grandpa didn't know about some of the family problems, I wonder how long some of them have been on the family.

Dill has got to watch the off the wall movie references, he keeps forgetting that they don't watch a lot of anything at Peter's house. With the curses it wouldn't suprise me if the TV tried to kill them.

Woah, if this hasn't been proof-read, then you did really well. One small typo: "Grandfather's [eyes] widened..."

Correcting typos and such helps me feel like I'm contributing back to the author; I feel like I have to contribute something to a story I like, even if I'm not rich or anything. So, don't feel scared about posting something not yet polished. That's our job :)

Masterful exposition! Tied in really well to the overall theme of the page, and informative without getting in the way.

I didn't notice any typos, I must say. Maybe it's because there's STILL almost none compared to the rest of the internet, even the other web novels I read.

Uncind = This is a special word to describe those who point out spelling errors just to be obnoxious rather than helpful (or indeed contributive!). Fortunately, calling them this sends them into further paroxysms of rage, which is always fun to watch.

daymon34 -
Yeah, I think GF is in the dark about a few of the details...like the golden hula hoop.

Haha! PETER AND THE KILLER TV.

"TV'll kill ya," Dill said solemnly.

"Are you going to stop watching FRIENDS, then?"

"Heck no. Cars'll kill ya too. Water, too. You can drown in a teaspoon of water, did you know that? If I'm not gonna give up cars and water, why would I give up TV?"

"You don't drink water," Peter pointed out. "You only drink soft drinks."

"Well, then, all I gotta worry about is cars, then," Dill said as he settled back into the couch and reached for the remote.

Um the Muse -
Thanks! Good catch!

You're right, you guys help out more than you know when you catch typos. That's hours that I don't have to spend doing it.

PS - Todd is the reigning champion, with something like four catches over four consecutive pages.

Maybe I should start a contest...

Rubberduck -
Wow, thanks!

Not to be a grumpy old man, but I can't tell you how annoyed I get when I read news releases on national news websites and there are typos...

Ha ha! The one night I fall asleep early, I get talked about.
