De dieren van Lockwood Manor

The manor’s eerie, historical vibe really drew me in, but I wonder if the author based it on a real place or crafted it from imagination. How did the setting influence the story’s mood?

I found those slower moments impactful but also a bit heavy at times. Was this deliberate to deepen character development or a challenge in balancing suspense?

The blend of psychological and gothic horror was compelling, but I’m curious how much of the supernatural was meant to symbolize internal struggles versus external threats.
