Il massacro del Monte Rainier

The isolation amplifies the horror and suspense, but I'm curious whether the author based it on real places or purely from imagination.

The gradual escalation kept me on edge, but I wondered if the story intentionally plays with paranoia or if it was a pacing choice.

The juxtaposition of survival skills versus reliance on gadgets was intriguing. Did the author seem to favor one over the other in the characters' arcs?
