The ending must never be rushed. You want to keep your readers both fulfilled and wanting more at the same time. Just don't leave them wanting too much more. ;-) That’s right Davee.

Im currently writing a thriller/suspense and am at the end. Im having problems generating a climactic ending, but, your tips greatly help me in what not to do. I agree that a kicktail story can be ruined by a blink of an eye bad ending. In a book, it almost feels rushed or lazy. Thank you for the thought provoking post.

So many horror movies stumble at the finish line. Also, I agree that the ending of The Woman in Black REALLY left something to be desired. It was such a dark and creepy movie! Why end it on such a soft note? I read the book before I saw the film, and I really, really prefer the book ending. It's much more dismal for Mr. Kipps. This is fantastic; I could not agree more.
