Closer

The novel's dark atmosphere really stuck with me, but I'm curious whether the author aimed to evoke discomfort intentionally or if it evolved naturally from the story's themes.

His descent into violence and self-discovery made me question what drives someone to such extremes — is it about identity, trauma, or something else entirely?

The mix creates a unique, jarring experience. I'm interested in how the genre choices influenced the narrative tone and reader engagement.
