This was beautiful, sad, and slightly creepy. I really enjoyed this, 5 ⭐!

Really liked the lyrical writing style and the story was intriguing. Could have been longer but happy to have read it!

This wasn't bad at all, it was just kind of weird. The writing itself was beautiful and each sentence read like a dark poem. It had promise and I was intrigued by the premise, but at only 9 pages long it just had no time to fully develop.
The mood and setting were really well done and I could easily picture it. I guess my biggest issue is that.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Idk man. Read for free on Tor here.
Charlotte died to shore up her master's house. Her bones grew into the foundation and pushed up through the walls, feeding his power and continuing the cycle. As time passes and the ones she loved fade away, the house and the master remain, and she yearns ever more deeply for vengeance.

all of a sudden a unicorn popped out of the ground and impaled the very girl she was trying to save¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Idk man. Read for free on Tor here.

My main problem with Lullaby for a lost world is that it was too short to be comprehensible. We don't know about the 'House', the 'Master' and the reason why they feed them with the blood of young girls. So, it was not easy to understand Charlotte's anger, only her pain and what had happened to her through her memories. But it was creepy.

It's interesting, but it feels more like a premise to a full novel than complete in of itself

This was dumb. There wasn't enough time to build the emotion it claimed at the end, and also it just didn't quite make sense... Charlotte killed Isaure, after the only reason she came back was to make sure they didn't take her like they had her? What is there to finish with the house, and why does it matter, if the whole world is destroyed? If the whole world was being destroyed, how did they ever get all these new people?? Also, some of the punctuation was wack. Gets 2 stars because it fit gothic syntax/descriptions well.
