Perfect Little Town

The contrast between the idyllic setting and the horror lurking beneath is striking. I'm curious what sparked the idea to set the story in a place that seems so peaceful on the surface.

The rapid shifts in alliances and betrayals kept me on edge. Was this meant to reflect real small-town dynamics or just to ramp up the suspense?

The tension feels so natural and slow-burning, which makes the horror more impactful. I wonder what choices in pacing or writing style contributed most to that effect.
