Das Böse kommt auf leisen Sohlen

His use of language and setting really immerses the reader in a chilling mood. I'm curious what choices contributed most to this haunting feeling.

The characters' innocence contrasted with the sinister forces at play made me question what truly defines evil. How did others interpret the moral landscape of the story?

The carnival feels like a character itself, embodying temptation and danger. I wonder if this symbol was drawn from personal experience or mythic themes.
