When it comes to book endings that are abrupt or disappointing, I can relate to that. Not so much with my own work, but for or less for the fact that I end up getting disappointed or even sometimes mad at the way a book ends. For instance, Steven King's Cell was a hit-the-pavement-running kind of book that when it got to, quite literally, the last paragraph; it ruined the entire book for me. Honestly, I think I could have written at least a hundred different endings that could have pulled the book around to completion without disappointing the reader. Oh well. LOL. :)

Thanks Pauline for reading the review!  I will admit that I write endings that end with a jolt but I feel they are always in context with the events that took place in the story and that they are logical endings, not divine intervention or anything...which actually does happen in a lot of horror stories.
The reviewer is totally right when he mentions Twilight Zone and they way those tales end, this is my style of writing and exactly what I strive for and I won't complain about being compared to the Twilight Zone.
When people used to ask me the style in which I write I would always answer the old Tales from the Crypt or Twilight Zone.  I think many people still love that type of story.
