And he comes rider / I priidet vsadnik

The blending of faith and suspense feels seamless, but I wonder what inspired the choice to intertwine these genres so closely.

I was really hooked early on, but some moments in the middle felt a bit quick. Was that intentional to keep the tension high?

The small-town atmosphere added to the sense of realism and unease. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or created it entirely from imagination.
