The Crooked Staircase

The tension between the frightening elements and the plot twists kept me on edge. I'm curious whether maintaining that balance was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The way characters grappled with their own darkness added depth to the scares. I wonder if this moral ambiguity was a deliberate choice to reflect real-life fears.

The staircase felt like a metaphor for the twists and turns of the plot. I'm interested in whether the author had a specific image or idea that led to this powerful symbol.
