Le pain et le poison

The way the curse feels rooted in real history adds a layer of unease. I'm curious whether this blend was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The slow build of dread made me wonder if the horror is more about psychological decay than jump scares. Is that how others experienced it?

The bread feels like a metaphor for lingering shame and unresolved trauma. I wonder what the author wanted readers to take away about collective memory.
