Blood Standard

The dark, tense mood really drew me in, and I wonder if it was influenced by certain crime or horror classics. Did the setting evolve from a specific inspiration?

He walks a fine line between justice and revenge, which made me question what I’d do in his situation. Was that intentional to make readers uncomfortable?

The horror aspects added a chilling layer that elevated the suspense, but I’m curious whether this fusion was planned from the start or developed during writing.
