Холодна река

The paranormal aspects added a layer of eerie mystery, but I wonder if they were meant to symbolize deeper themes. Did anyone else feel they enhanced or overshadowed the plot?

The atmosphere felt so immersive, almost like a character itself. I'm curious whether the author drew from real places or crafted it entirely from imagination.

The buildup was tense, but I felt the story slowed down temporarily — maybe to deepen the characters? I'd love to hear others' thoughts on how it affected the tension.
