Riding the Nightmare  by Budgielover 12 Review(s)

Probably not the best story to read just before bed, but oh well. The reactions of the Fellowship to the ghosts, more than the ghosts themselves, was very scary. Have tingles going up my spine. And I like the suspicion surrounding every one of Boromir's moves, no matter how innocent the motives. An excellent story; thank you for creeping me out! ;)

I wasn't expecting it to end so soon! But that was really, really great! Good work, and five stars *****!

OK, I could have put this all in one review, but I knew not if I'd have the time to read it through in one day . So let me congratulate you to this very interesting and well written piece of fanfiction.

I especially liked the way Boromir was described and how brave he was (and this comes from an Aragorn-lover!).

The solution of the story was believable and well delivered, so I hope to read more from you soon.

Really enjoyed this story! Spooky, thrilling, and gave a little backstory to those in the Paths of the Dead. I totally felt this fit into their journey, potentially. It was a fun ghost story! Well done!

I think I already mentioned it in one of my unfortunately irregular reviews, but this story was outright creepy. The sudden appearance of a stray group of ghosts outside the Paths of the Dead was by far more sinister than the ghosts in the original story (and the whole Paths of Deaths sequence is eerie as it is). But (of course) I am glad that Aragorn managed to come up with a solution that the ghosts would accept. And that the chief-ghost chose to not let Frodo fall to his death.

A great story (as are all of your stories I have read so far). Thanks for writing and sharing,

You had me on the edge of my seat through most of that chapter. But Frodo was so strong and fierce. I love that you showed that. I liked the tiny touch of foreshadowing with Sam considering how awful it would be to go on without hope too. If he feels like that about the wraiths, how much more must it cut him when Frodo reaches that point? A great tale told well, as always, Budge. Thank you.

I loved it. I was worried for Pippin and Frodo for a few moments, but happily you got the fellowship safely out of the situation with minimal damage. I really enjoy your characterizations, can't wait for your next story.
