“The clock is ticking. Are you quick enough to outrace time?” (6).
The whole setting of Halcomb writing to this crime writer wanting to tell his story, and wanting him to stay in his house is extremely eerie to begin with.

Adura is now speaking of her first time meeting Jeff. Although she did not really speak to him much while he was at her dinner party, just his presence was enough to make her go soft for him and believe him as some kind of all powerful being. It creeps me out to think that somebody could have that kind of effect on someone else just by being in the same room.
“The cry sounded terrified, a yell she imagined emanated from the throat of someone who had stumbled onto a dead body in the heart of the woods” (62).
Vee is a little 12 year old girl and she is alone in this weird forest behind her house trying to find first where laughter was coming from but now this scream. I am terrified for her safety, but I can’t really tell if this is a spiritual illusion or someone is being murdered but either way I am scared for this
