3- maybe I should stop pretending this is horror

Dear Alicia Adams,

Thank you for sending us "Rooster". I've reviewed the story and decided not to purchase it. It's very well written (I like the dry terseness) but, perhaps, not horrific enough for us. Please consider us in the future, however, as I enjoyed your writing and the evident control you've mustered.

Thanks for submitting, and I hope my comments have been at least a tiny bit helpful.

I'm sorry . . . =(
That's such a good story. Someone should have taken it by now! But they're right about one thing . . . it IS very well written. And the command of control is incredible (okay. two things). You're a genius; I see it even if you think nobody else does. And I love you.
The end.

Not to be all weird and writery, but this is a good rejection. They want to see more of your stuff. Cool :-)

Oh yeah, Omar's right.
