Becoming the Boogeyman

The book dives deep into fear and identity, but I wonder what motivated the author to focus on these themes in such a visceral way.

The sense of dread kept escalating, but at times I wondered how much of it was rooted in reality versus the mind's distortions. Did this affect how others experienced the story?

The story kept me on the edge but also gave moments to breathe. I’m curious whether this balance was something planned from the start or refined during revisions.
