He was trying to make a story nicer by throwing a hint as to what makes it tick, without trying to scare anyone. If you miss the Acrostic - it won't ruin the story. Unlike what the general cliches page lists. As far as I can tell, the author didn't have a point beyond "Look how clever I can be."

You seem to be getting awfully upset about this, Bloody. Any particular reason? Im not really getting upset about this, but if you are trying to work yourself into a situation where you come up with good stories, why look at legit literary devices so negatively? Also, acrostics were, at least in the past, were used by poets and writers to sign their works by including their names or psuedonyms in their works through the device.
