Ah ok, so that’s how missing persons reports are interpreted, cool. Kellwood kind of makes me think of Silent Hill from the Silent Hill games, where all this gruesome, magical/weird stuff keeps going down, but because there’s a genuinely pleasant, separate side (. . . layer/realm?) to the town, the supernatural stuff gets swept under the rug in such a way that the general populace has no idea what’s going on there, although with Kellwood, the “mask” is that there’s a “rational” explanation for the going’s on. I like it ^_^
Edit: Oh, also, I just thought about that rat comment, and now I’m wondering if Alberta would stay rat-free if those were the rats we had to deal with, lol.
:D I'm delighted you picked up on that, while it's not 100% my influence, it's absolutely undeniably in the DNA. I am chuckling too because I queued a whole batch of these, and the author's notes I wrote a few days back confirm the Silent Hill inspiration on the very next page!
