I was really anticipating a greater degree of horror.

I had built up my expectations, hoping for a truly spine-chilling experience.

However, when I finally got to see or experience whatever it was, it was just okay.

It didn't quite reach the level of horror that I had been imagining.

There were some elements that were a bit creepy, but overall, it didn't have that intense, bone-chilling effect that I was longing for.

Maybe I had set my standards too high, or perhaps it just wasn't the kind of horror that really appealed to me.

Nevertheless, it wasn't a complete disappointment.

It still had its moments, and I was able to enjoy it to some extent.

But if I were to rate it in terms of horror, I would probably give it a mediocre score.

It was an okay experience, but not one that I would rave about or remember for a long time.

The original article is not provided, so I can't rewrite and expand it specifically. However, I can give you a general example of how you might expand an article to around 300 words.

Let's say the original article was: "The new park is beautiful. It has many trees and flowers. People like to go there to relax."

Here's an expanded version:

The new park is truly a sight to behold.

It is filled with an abundance of lush trees that provide ample shade on a sunny day.

The variety of flowers is simply breathtaking, with their vibrant colors adding a splash of beauty to the landscape.

People are drawn to this park like a magnet, eager to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and find a moment of tranquility.

Whether it's taking a leisurely stroll, having a picnic with family and friends, or simply sitting on a bench and enjoying the view, the park offers a haven for relaxation.

It has quickly become a favorite destination for locals and visitors alike, a place where they can unwind and rejuvenate their minds and bodies.

That was so cool!

I just finished listening to the audio on youtube. It was truly amazing. The content was engaging and full of interesting ideas.

I couldn't help but get excited as I listened. EEEEEEE!!!

It made me feel so alive and inspired.

The quality of the audio was excellent, and it really enhanced the overall experience.

I'm so glad I came across this audio. It has definitely made my day.

I can't wait to listen to more like it in the future.

Overall, it was a great find and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for something interesting and engaging to listen to.

Steve is a die-hard smoker and his wife leaves him with a note, without an obvious reason, at least from his point of view.

This abandonment leads him to suddenly quit smoking, thus suffering a strong withdrawal, although he doesn't seem to notice it much. It's latent, but it's there.

The wife, now an ex, asks for a divorce and Steve seems quite calm, at least until they meet to discuss the details together with her lawyer.

They decide to meet for lunch at the Gotham Cafè, where a decidedly "peculiar" waiter greets him in a singular way.

What will happen? Will Steve be able to stay calm? How strange can a waiter with a small bloodstain (but is it blood? Or some kind of sauce?) on his shirt be?

Now I tell you: I have the memory of a grain of dust, so when I read the title of this story I immediately thought of... Batman, of course, right? No? Well, for me it was and I couldn't have been more wrong, but hey, I only know Gotham City!

In my opinion, both stories were very ordinary.

They didn't have any unique or outstanding elements that would make them stand out.

The plots seemed rather predictable, and the characters lacked depth and complexity.

There was nothing particularly exciting or engaging about them.

It felt as if I had heard or read similar stories many times before.

However, I understand that not every story has to be a masterpiece.

Sometimes, ordinary stories can still have their charm and value.

They can offer a simple and straightforward form of entertainment or a familiar narrative that people can relate to.

Maybe for some readers, these ordinary stories are exactly what they are looking for.

But for me, I prefer stories that have more creativity, originality, and emotional impact.

Definitely not the best book by Stephen King. I liked the atmosphere and the scenery description. The author managed to create a spooky and mysterious ambiance that kept me engaged throughout the story. The detailed descriptions of the settings added to the overall charm of the book. However, the plot is a very weak side. It lacked depth and complexity, and the story seemed to unfold in a rather predictable manner. There were no real surprises or twists that would have made the reading experience more exciting. I found myself getting bored at times and had to force myself to continue reading. I would never believe it was written by King, considering his reputation for creating thrilling and engaging plots. Overall, while the atmosphere and scenery were well done, the weak plot detracted from the overall quality of the book.

|2'5☆| I assume that it represents the madness and the outset of the divorce related to the need not to end in that way, but still I couldn't connect with the narrative. I spent a great part of the story waiting for it to finish. It felt as if the author was trying to convey a complex emotion or situation, but somehow it just didn't click for me. Maybe it was the way the events were described, or perhaps I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to understand it. However, I did appreciate the attempt to explore such a sensitive topic. Despite my lack of connection, I could see that there was depth and thought put into the writing. I wonder if others would have a different experience with this piece. Maybe upon a second reading, I might be able to pick up on things that I missed the first time around.

3.5⭐️
The illustrations in this work are truly stupendous. They are so vivid and detailed that they bring the story to life in a remarkable way. However, the only drawback is that it is far too short.

Every time I read a work by King, I always find myself longing for more. In this case, I would have loved to have another 1000 pages. There is just so much potential in the story that could have been explored further.

The brevity of the piece leaves me feeling a bit unsatisfied, as if there were still many aspects that were left unexplored. But despite this, the quality of the illustrations and the overall concept of the work are still very impressive.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of King's work or who simply enjoys beautiful illustrations and engaging stories. It may be short, but it still manages to make a lasting impression.

The story starts off really well. It grabs the reader's attention right from the beginning and creates a sense of anticipation.

However, as the story progresses towards the final pages, it seems to lose a bit of its steam. The excitement and momentum that was built up earlier start to fade away, and the ending feels a bit anti-climactic.

On the other hand, the illustrations by Olivares are excellent throughout the entire book. They add a lot of depth and visual interest to the story, bringing the characters and scenes to life in a vivid and engaging way.

The use of color,线条, and composition in the illustrations is truly masterful, and they enhance the overall reading experience significantly.

Despite the slight letdown in the story towards the end, the beautiful illustrations by Olivares make this a book that is still worth checking out.

What a lunch date, man!

Bloody Read is an interesting and perhaps a bit mysterious concept. It could refer to a book or a story that contains elements of bloodshed and violence. Maybe it's a thrilling mystery novel where the plot thickens with each bloody clue. Or perhaps it's a horror story that sends shivers down your spine as you read about the bloody scenes.

The term "Bloody Read" might also have a more figurative meaning. It could describe a reading experience that is intense and emotional, as if it were bleeding with passion and drama. It might make you feel a range of emotions, from excitement and anticipation to fear and shock.

Whether it's a literal or a figurative interpretation, a Bloody Read is sure to capture your attention and keep you on the edge of your seat. So, if you're looking for a reading adventure that will get your heart pounding and your blood flowing, then a Bloody Read might be just what you need.

A note lies on the dining table, a note that changed everything.

Steve Davis never imagined that after two years of marriage to his beautiful Diane, everything would end with a note. It had to be a very bad joke, but no, Diane wanted a divorce and nothing and no one would make her change her mind.

Two weeks later, Humboldt, Diane's lawyer, proposes a lunch at the Gotham Café with his wife. Steve wants to see her, he has to restore their relationship, but the encounter will not be exactly idyllic. There are many psychopathic minds among us all.

If you have had the opportunity to read the great Stephen King, there is no need for me to tell you how brilliant and wonderful his narration is. And if you haven't read anything of his yet, what are you waiting for?

"Lunch at the Gotham Café" is a short story that first appeared in the anthology "Dark Love", a collection of dark stories. The edition by @nordica_libros has less than a hundred pages and can be read in one breath. Moreover, it is full of illustrations that I personally loved, as they are very in line with the story.

In this story, Stephen King breaks away from the paranormal to bring us a terrifying, delirious, and slightly surreal story that urges you to read it in one go. A story that, despite having a rather simple plot, immerses you in a tense atmosphere.

I want to emphasize that this story is very short. For this reason, the characters, the plot, and even the setting are quite simple. Among its pages, you will not find an impressive novel, but you will find a story that will make you spend an entertaining time and that will make you not want to set foot in a restaurant again, at least for a while.
