In any case your use of light and shadow in this piece is very strong, and deeply ominous.
Also i think about 80% of the reason the "scary stories" books did scare me as a child was those pictures, and how gruesome they where.
Thankfully I grew some and have come top appreciate them.
Thank you for making this.
