The Kindness

The blend of horror and fantasy feels so seamless — I wonder whether the author based these on personal beliefs or folklore. How did the idea for these elements evolve during writing?

The relationships felt so genuine and poignant, especially as they were tested by dark forces. Did readers find themselves relating to any particular character's journey?

The pacing kept me on edge but also made me reflect on the characters’ personal struggles. Was there a specific reason for emphasizing suspense over outright scares?
