Tuan’s narrative excels in establishing isolation through precise architectural details, using the four-story building and enclosing walls to amplify psychological unease. By grounding horror in immediate visceral reactions like chills and unsettling scents, the text creates a potent sense of dread without relying on supernatural exposition. This approach suits readers who favor atmospheric tension and cultural specificity over fast-paced action or Western Gothic tropes.
