The Haunting of Paynes Hollow

The sense of isolation and history in Paynes Hollow really amplified the haunting vibe. Did the setting make anyone else feel more immersed or just more anxious?

The mix kept me guessing but also made me wonder how the author balanced the supernatural elements with the suspense. Was this a conscious decision from the start?

The characters' suspicion and secrets felt authentic but also heightened the tension. Do you think the author was drawing from real-life small-town relationships?
