I Walk in Dread

Using a young narrator adds a layer of innocence and vulnerability to such a dark period. I'm curious what inspired that choice and how it shaped the story.

The details felt authentic but accessible for middle-grade readers. I'm wondering if the author struggled with how much history to include or omit.

The way characters turn on each other felt very real, but it also made me think about how easily hysteria can spread. Did anyone else find this especially unsettling?
