Dead Set

Kadrey's tone shifts between tense and witty, which kept me guessing about how dark things would get. I'm curious whether this balance was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The way the spirits and hauntings were described made them feel like they could exist outside the pages. I wonder if the author drew from specific legends or created entirely new mythos.

The city felt like a character itself, full of shadows and secrets. I'm interested in what led to choosing this particular environment for the story's dark themes.
