Dead and Gone to Bell

The atmosphere of the town feels so layered and authentic. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real place or created it from imagination.

The story seemed to take a breather before the climax, which made me wonder if that was a deliberate choice to deepen character development or suspense.

Switching viewpoints added complexity but also made the story richer. I wonder what led to the decision to tell it from different characters' eyes.
