You've been doing a fine job of slipping in an extra puzzle piece here and there with the mystery surrounding Grace, Evening, and now the Ormirson family. Everything's just a little bit off, a little bit unsettling, and it creates this eerie and uneasy atmosphere that really bolsters the air of suspicion around everything that's happened so far. Can't wait to see where this goes.

Thank you so much! I like releasing this in slow increments. It encourages me to slow down and be patient with the story

This is something else. You said in your interview with Shaina that you describe your work as fairy tales--i wasnt sure how to make heads or tales of that but i get it. These are evocative and immersive worlds, unsettling and visual and emotive. Im feeling things and i cant quite figure out what or why. Glad i could catch up on this series, and very much looking forward to more!

I think I’d need to expand on my definition of “fairy tale” in another post some time.

I’m really glad to know you’re enjoying the series so far!

Yeah, not suspicious at all. Pale, wan, shaking, afraid of the dark. Alforth is slowly leaching the life from this woman.

I started out thinking werewolves, and now I'm thinking vampires.

Gah the cliffhangers! Every time!

Have you read Mexican Gothic, by any chance? It also has some creepy-mansion-on-a-mountain vibes (which are among my favorite vibes).

I have not! I just googled it and it looks really interesting. Would you recommend it?

I enjoyed it! There were a couple parts that were slightly racy for my personal preference, but the story was super interesting!

This story is very mysterious. Some “Twin Peaks” feels to it!
