Palude

The moody, eerie landscapes add so much to the story's tension. I'm curious whether the author envisioned this from the start or developed it during writing.

The blend of horror and mystery kept me on edge, but sometimes the supernatural scenes felt especially haunting. How did others interpret their role in the story?

There were moments where the story slowed down to build atmosphere—was that intentional to maximize tension, or just natural to the plot?
