Killing Pretty

Kadrey's blend of horror and fantasy creates a visceral atmosphere. I'm curious what influenced this intense mood and setting.

The line between good and evil was so blurred that I kept questioning who the real monsters were. Did anyone else find themselves sympathizing with the antagonists?

The supernatural parts felt like they amplified the sense of dread. I'm wondering if Kadrey planned these elements to serve as metaphors or if they just added to the scare factor.
