I think it worked in an over the top kind of way. While this may seem a stretch Anna could be cynical because of her repect for her father; more often than not in real life children who show admiration for their parents consciously or subconsciously mimic their behaviors. The gloom is where the main "creepiness" comes from. In a sense the story has quite a few tropes, but I have seen too many movies and T.V shows that do it far worse. It's just different enough to create an original tale.

On the 13 year old girl thing: It has become a bit of a sick plot device to put young children (especially girls) in adult or sexual scenarios that they shouldnt be in. Pedophilia and assault are disturbing and serious issues that should be revolting. While it works for the furthering of the story, I have two main points why this was inevitably not the best written section.

1. It's too short to develop actual characters aside from Anna and her family

2. This is not a New York Times best selling author, cut them some slack.
