Creepy stuff . . . I could tell something ugly was going to happen at the end, but it was worse than I expected. Not bad.

It seems that the amount of descriptive detail is a matter of preference with both the writer and the reader.1. Some people like very detailed descriptions of characters and settings. I'm not one of them. I think they bog down stories unless something mentioned in the description is an important plot element. The stories I enjoy reading rarely contain such long descriptions. I like that because I can use my imagination to fill in the blanks left by the author, and this more fully engages me in the story. It's more of a personal preference, but it wouldn't hurt to work on adding more description in such a way that it doesn't slow things down too much.
