Sensitive Topics

The book's primary topic is fear. Death is implied through the presence of ghosts, but it is not explored as a theme of grief or loss. The approach is entirely secular and for entertainment purposes. Resolutions are deliberately unsettling and ambiguous to maximize the spooky feeling, rather than providing comfort or a clear moral.
