Hi MINAHILHAROON,

This is a fantastic story. The tone is formal. It suits the story and plot very well. The reader is wondering if Emily will find what she needs in "Mirrors and Mystics". They will read to the last word to find out. The story is about a woman who goes into an antique shop trying to buy a gift but gets a terrifying surprise instead. The conflict is well defined. There is no doubt about what is going on here. The characterization is fully developed and believable. The story concentrates on Emily, and she comes across as a real person. There is only one line of dialogue, and it is well done and realistic. Mr. Blackwood speaks like a real person. The description is detailed and vivid. It puts the reader all the way into the story. The story is well structured and consistent in terms of point of view and tense. Great job.
