Talk:A Figure in the Fog/@comment-26030957-20150430033649

Awesome. Loved it. So glad to see The Wicker House realm expanding, and if I'm not mistaken was there some subtle references to A Bad Night as well? This one really caught my fancy: "Claire comes to me every night, out of the fog. She looks at me through my window with her black, empty eyes, her hand lightly tapping on the pane like she wants to come inside. But somehow I know that's not it at all. It's not that she wants to be let in. It's that she wants me to come out"--nice. Very nice indeed. The opening scenes were so gritty and realistic. They really revealed character and got the story rolling at a fast pace right from the get-go. You make it clear right away you are not fucking around and come out swinging. Realism like that just sets a tone for the whole narrative that makes the reader take things seriously. It also makes us savor the father getting his just rewards at the end. If you plant ice you are going to harvest wind.
