Les ténèbres avancent

The mix of spooky elements with a coming-of-age story felt both thrilling and thought-provoking. I wonder what inspired this unique approach for a children's book.

The eerie atmosphere really pulled me in, but I also found myself wondering how much of it was rooted in traditional folklore. Did others find the horror authentic or a bit too intense for middle-grade?

The setting felt so vivid and atmospheric, making me curious whether Larsson drew from actual locations or crafted a whole new world for the story.
