Talk:The Legend Of Old Cowhead/@comment-7706473-20140810101257

First, the bad - there are some weird stylistic choices. I almost don't want to call them bad, because they fit the weird and surreal 'folk-horror' feel of this. I can think of a handful of mountain villages that have similar stories that range from the humorous to the seriously disturbed, and that only heightened the immersion. But, wait - bad stuff first, still. There were - as Bree pointed out - some contradictions and facts that just weren't answered or looked at. If you write a sequel or pasta that ties into it, perhaps we'll learn more however, so I won't press for too much information.

Because the weirdness of the story was great. It had that, again, folk-horror feel - where you're not sure if the guy telling you the story, on his third cigarette and with skin as leathery as a cow himself, is even just trying to mess with you because you're from out of town. The ending seemed a little off with the italic text, but more because I wasn't expecting it then any poorness. It might not have been a bad idea to preface that this was being taken down by a psychiatrist/psychotherapist in the intro, or perhaps cut that section? Hrmn, I'm not sure.

Most of all, I loved that some Cowheads were having fun, or even happy? Is it a bad thing to become a Cowhead? Is it truly a matter of perspective, or are they tranqued-up monstrosities?.. Also, wow, Extreme Ghostbusters. I will neither confirm nor deny. ; )
