First Reactions

I've heard back from three test readers re: "Mr. Twitcher's Miracle Baby-Chopping Machine." Some excerpts:

"Although totally depraved and sick, I have to admit that I laughed my ass off (and felt bad for doing so) several times..."

"One of your stronger stories. It became more surreal and entertaining as it went. Not the kind of surreal that these people who write surreal fiction claim is surreal when it's really just disjointed, but the fun dark stuff."

"I liked it. Found it more blackly amusing than hilarious."

Will the other test readers also enjoy it, or have I used up all of the goodwill toward this piece? Stay tuned...
