Evan Hive is the name of another character I write and I didn't really feel that this one fit into the Hive world (never mentioned he was a cop before). You can find Jack Dunn in another short posted here called Dunn Deal.Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033131935968488175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3733545996388457449.post-49385383342807067842009-06-26T15:15:53.697+01:002009-06-26T15:15:53.697+01:00A chiller indeed!

I tried to male the bad guys the leads, but gave them characters that didn't necessarily make you want them to succeed. And like in the best horror movies, I thought the violence would work better 'off screen'. Personally I think it makes Hive's skills more mysterious and effective because we don't see what he did to the guys coming to kill him. We get a good idea of his warped sense of justice from the way he puts the baddies to death - hope people caught the subtlety (they were grouching about the cold so he made them even colder?)<br /><br />And, I've done it again, haven't I. Blown my cover.
