The visual’s within the novel are heavily inspired by the genre of horror film and the psychological thriller. In Sharon Packer’s Movies and the Modern Psyche she describes the common themes within psychological horror, specifically film, as they, “...pertain to reality, perception, mind, questions about existence or purpose, issues of identity and deliberations about death. Characters often try to determine what is true and what is not.” (85) This is due to psychological horror’s ability to distort perception, a quality persistent in popular films such as Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock and The Shining (1980) by Stanley Kubrick.
