Pântano de Sangue

The swampy landscape adds so much atmosphere and tension. I'm curious whether the author drew from actual places or created this environment from imagination.

The story's suspense builds gradually, but I found myself wishing for more urgency at times. Do others think this was a deliberate choice to deepen the mystery?

The local setting and traditions added richness to the story, but I wonder if that also influenced how the plot unfolded or the characters' decisions.
