Das Haus der finsteren Träume

The way the monsters serve as metaphors for trauma is so compelling. I'm curious if this dual focus was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The depiction of grief and loss felt so visceral that I kept thinking about how personal trauma shapes us. Was that the intended impact?

The monsters felt so unique and layered—I'm wondering if they stem from folklore, original ideas, or a mix of both.
