Сэмюэл Джонсон и врата ада

The book balances dark themes with witty moments—did the author intend to make the horror more approachable or to highlight the absurdity of certain situations?

The setting feels both eerie and fantastical. I'm curious whether this idea came from folklore, personal experiences, or a desire to explore moral boundaries.

Some decisions felt morally grey, which made me wonder if the author wanted to challenge readers’ perceptions of good and evil.
