Would you read my book, details below?

Question

Here is the first paragraph


In every darkened corner, in every terrifying dream, in every movement he made, Noah Gifford new that he was trapped in a world of unfriendly coldness. The face he saw this time was different. The head on which it appeared was severed off from a deformed, mangled body which was hanging from an old oak tree, like a limp still born child. Flesh wounds were screaming with unsightly blood. The one and only thing that stood out the most to Noah was that the eyes were gouged from the head which was swinging back and forth from a rope that was tied to a single tree branch. What Noah did not know, was that the dismantled figure he was looking at…wasn’t really there.

Tell me if i should finish the book.

Answer 1

Finish it, or at least a chapter of it. Put it away for 3 weeks. Reread and revise it. Put it away for 3 more weeks. Reread and revise it. If you like the way it sounds. Ask some honest, impartial people to read it and give their opinion - no relatives and no best friends unless they are published writers.
While you are writing you can join a writers group where you can share the work as you are writing. They will offer advice, but it will up to you to take it or leave it. Just don't take your horror novel to a group of romance writers, etc. Try and pick a group that will be honest and helpful and not just pat you on the back.
Perhaps you might want to try a short story first, there are magazines that publish them.
Below are some websites for the horror writer and writers in general. Good Luck, Hope to read your work soon.

Answer 2

The first go around I thought he was hanging over a limb. I think I might add something like hanging by the neck. It might even add to the imagery. It all hangs on what else happens. I guess you can't tell us the plot although it's the way it's handled that's most important I hear. An editor will only read until it seems to be turning out badly if they read it at all if it's not the subject matter they want or some other often subjective reason. I always like a story that has a lesson or truth illustrated and quantum physics is spawning many ideas along with all else going on now in every discipline, all the advance in every field and new fields like Noetic science so it works on every level. Intuition and information does all that for you. You can just write down what it says.

Answer 3

Not my kind of book, but it seems intriging. Spruce up your grammar a bit and it would definitely be an interesting read.
