Review:
After a trip to LA, very strange, very dark, and very, *very* creepy things begin happening to Jim and Blair.

Snake Oil is, by far, the creepiest fanfic I have ever read. Martha does a brilliant job of building up suspense as she slowly reveals bits and pieces of Jim and Blair's trip to LA and the unexpected consequences of the trip. Her plot unfolds gradually and with an ever-increasing sense of doom and by the time I got to the reveal, my nerves were snapping. A perfect, haunting Halloween treat (that you should most definitely not read with the lights off).

mmph! ohjezusghod - i love this story! it's totally creepy and just completely draws you in. goose-bumps and shivers, it was awesome.

have you read 'Bag of Bones' (i think it's called)? i can't remember who wrote it, or if i'm conflating that one with this one, but it's equally deliciously creepy fun.
