Участь Эшеров (Мягкая обложка (Paperback))

The setting feels almost like a character itself, shaping the story’s dark and emotional tone. Did the mood come from the setting or the story's themes?

Some scenes felt like manifestations of inner turmoil rather than actual ghosts or spirits. Was that intentional to blur the lines between reality and perception?

The blend creates such a unique vibe — I wonder what prompted the choice to combine these genres in this way.
