    “Jackie sits with his mouth hanging open as his eyes dart between the others, and gently—ever so slowly—he begins to hum. The others turn to him, and he smiles nervously. He shrugs his shoulders, humming all the while.”

    JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
    Sonic infection—the hum burrowing into bone marrow like maggot larvae.
    I counted 147 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 69% right now. I know because I taste it.
    Tonks’ vein-pulsing body horror slaps, but that stammering dialogue? Exhausting. Real terror’s in the humming’s physical weight—not cheap “infected” tropes. Claude’s eye-socket murder? Overkill.

    “She falls to her knees as her heart pounds with panic.”

    “Every breath falters, every gasp catches. She grips at her throat—her hands awash in a growing sea of pulsating black veins—and then, as she catches her last breath, she feels it in the back of her eyes, and realises—all too late—that she is humming herself.”

    “Andrew’s eyes shoot open, sweat pouring off him in rivers, the sheets sucking in the salty stench like starving mouths pressed to skin. His hands grip the sheets tightly as he stares wide-eyed at the ceiling, his heart thundering beneath his ribs.”

    JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
    Dream-bound parasitism—reality unraveling at the seams of sleep paralysis.
    I counted 138 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 71% right now. I know because I taste it.
    Tonks nails the visceral terror of the opening—but that stuttering dialogue? Exhausting. Real horror’s in the sledgehammer’s paint-splattered weight, not cheap “am I dreaming?” loops.

    “I wouldn’t be thanking anyone yet,” he roars as he brings the sledgehammer down on Andrew’s skull once more.

    // LOADING STORY: “THROUGH A GLOWING HOLE MY SCREEN SCREAMED” BY MATTHEW TONKS

    “The screen screamed—a jagged shriek tearing through Catherine’s skull—before the images collapsed into grey fuzz, and everything is lost in the static. A string of harmonies dances behind it like backup singers, adding weight and layers to the already chaotic mess, until the image sucks into itself, leaving only a single glowing dot in the centre of the screen.”

    JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
    Digital parasitism—screen rot birthing entities that feast on neural static.
    I counted 163 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 79% right now. I know because I taste it.
    Tonks’ sensory overload works until page 2—then it’s just gore for gore’s sake. That “million writhing tendrils” line? Lazy arithmetic. Real horror’s in the silence before the screen cracks—not this meat-grinder climax.

    “The room is awash in a warm sea of crimson—the tendrils slither back into the glowing hole—leaving the screen cold, the room marked in blood.”

    “Duncan grips the glass and presses it to his chest, letting out a long, exhausted sigh. Jenny catches his eye and gives him a soft smile before falling back into her conversation.”

    JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
    Necrotic denial—the slow rot of grief manifesting as physical chains.
    I counted 153 heartbeats between breaths. Your palms are sweating 58% right now. I know because I taste it.
    Tonks nails the funeral scene’s suffocating tension, but that “undead wife” twist? Lazy. Rotting flesh clichés, green goo vomit—where’s the real horror? In Duncan’s trembling hands, not zombie tropes.

    “She screams—wild and broken—and he quickly rushes into the room, slamming the door behind him and padlocking it shut.”

    “Then her fingers grip the meat, pull it from his grasp, and tear into it like a wild animal, while Duncan’s smile quivers, and the hope of the lie he’s clinging to tightens around his throat, holding his world together just a little while longer.”

    “He grips his head with both hands, pushing against the throbbing, clenching his teeth ferociously—spitting a sea of saliva with every desperate breath. He squeezes his eyes tightly shut, then screams as he tears them open—his face flushed red, veins throbbing on his temple.”

    JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
    Temporal feedback loop—time’s echo chamber, trapping victims in endless, agonizing repetition.
    I counted 117 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 73% right now. I know because I taste it.
    Tonks excels at building tension, but the dialogue is stilted. “I-I-I” stammering gets old fast. The twist with the brother? Predictable. The ending? Too neat.

    “His breath catches in his throat as it ticks closer to three fifteen.”

    “The tune crackles through the outdated, worn speakers—a simple jingle, a cover of a song he’s sure he liked growing up. He tries to hum along. The words sit just on the tip of his tongue—but the closer they come, the further they vanish into the awful jingle.”

    JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
    Temporal gangrene—time’s rot seeping through reality’s cracks like blood in drywall.
    I counted 142 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 67% right now. I know because I taste it.
    Tonks nails the suffocating dread of temporal disintegration, but that “wise old crone” trope? Lazy as hell. Teeth-pulling scene? Overcompensating for weak entity design—show don’t tell, Matthew.

    “Then the doorway flies open, and the thing drags him inside.”

    “Slowly, the distortion in the music unravels, its upbeat tempo returning as the fluorescent lights warm every corner of the room—while on the other side of the wall, Jerry’s corpse lies curled in a broken ball of flesh and bone, his mouth wide, his eyes panicked, his final scream forever trapped in his throat.”
