Moods of the Horror Genre

A quote from the story that created strong imagery in my mind:

• "...today Kyra felt anxious."

• "...Kyra recalled how afraid she'd been of her strange aunt."

• "She glimpsed blackened rotting teeth through his lips, and his breath was even more rancid."

• "...I'm getting out of here."

Something I can infer about one character:

• Kyra is a scaredy cat.

• the old man is a ghost.

• Aunt Victoria is not really dead.

• Kyra is dead.

It is reasonable to infer that the old man is a ghost because

• he has rotten teeth

• he has a disingenuous smile

• he glares

• he is pale, gaunt, stooped over, and smells rancid.

A reasonable prediction I have for the next part:

• Kyra dies

• Aunt Victoria is alive

• Aunt Victoria is a ghost and haunting Kyra

• the old man comes to life
