Got a killer idea for a story in the works, not sure how it'll turn out, but I've seen a couple people write prologues and just wondering if that's what I should do as well. It'll be an actual novel/novella, and much better than the last one I tried to write. The question is, do prologues actually add anything to the story, or in fact do they take away from the stories secrets?

Thanks for all the support you've given me lately, I did end up writing a prologue but I was careful and scared of giving too much away. A lot of prologues cheat me out of a story and deter me from reading, so I tried to summarize the world and the characters.
