If you enjoy Edgar Allan Poe...

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 11:48 PM
...I have a new story in my gallery, "A Fifth of Jameson," an updated retelling of Poe's "A Cask of Amontillado."

I really wish Deviant Art would let us use more than one literature icon. I made one with soldiers marching through the trenches that reads "The Front," in reference to my World War I submissions. But this latest story has nothing to do with my WWI projects, so I realize that having an image of soldiers stamped across the thumbnail is a bit confusing.

If you're a Poe fan or a gothic horror fan, please let me know what you think of this story. I had a great time writing it and I hope it's creepy enough even if it pales in comparison with its inspiration.

Sorry I'm so late in replying. I've been away a while.

I LOVE "Carnivale"! I was obsessed with that show while it was on. It stinks that they cancelled it--it was amazing.

Thank you for the Favorite.
You have a Great gallery. I especially like that you articulate as a means of evoking an emotional connection with your characters and drawings. Particularly in the description for the piece "What I've Done."
~JunkyMcAvoy:iconJunkyMcAvoy: Jan 4, 2008, 11:41:13 PM
GREAT!, and thank you so much, maybe I could, for now, make you a little sumary of it... don't know, you tell me, at least for you to have an idea. :)
Thanks again, be fine...

I would certainly be willing to help "polish up" the English version of the story to sound more historically appropriate. I look forward to seeing more of it and the drawings you've done. :)

I think it's amazing, a great idea... only that I would have to translate the story to english beacuse it's in spanish and... well, it's not very good historicaly talking, hope you can help me with that aspect... one last warning, I have only satarted it, so I only have like two and a half chapters, very short really... anyhow, thank you so much for the interest, I've done some drawings of the story too, hope I can submit them soon.
Again thanks and keep well. Bye.

I'd love to see your short story. Perhaps I could do a drawing to go along with it. I enjoy doing gift art and art trades, so that sounds like a fun place to start. What do you think? :)

Hi, HauntedWords, I saw your work before I joined Deviantart and I absolutely loved it because, just like you, I love the WWI, that's why I fav your drawing. I love your characters too, hope we can talk more about the war, I've been doing a short-story about it, a little bit corny but... well, be fine
