In Chapter One, there is a foreshadowing of danger implicit in the use of the newspaper headline and the night time walk, both painting the picture of a girl who appears capable and mature but us actually vulnerable. As the reader has the benefit of being outside the story the newspaper headline in particular sets the tone of the book and warns us that there is the high possibility of real danger and bloodshed before the story is over. It is with this increasing tension and trepidation that the Author lets us know that this is a Horror tale or one in which dark and disturbing themes will be discussed and examined.
