Domínios da Noite

The setting and atmosphere feel so integral to the narrative. I'm curious whether Gay intentionally layered these Gothic touches to evoke certain emotions or themes.

The story’s slow burn can be intense but also challenging. Was this a deliberate choice to immerse readers in the town's mood or just natural to the story?

The detailed depiction of the small Southern town really brought the setting to life. I wonder what drew Gay to this specific location and era for his narrative.
