Question

How does an author create the unsettling atmosphere of psychological suspense?

Answer 1

By using unsettling words like conundrum, boraeneous, and osmocosiaus. He can also introduce characters early on that will be killed of later. Another great strategy is by referencing pop culture in a unsettling from i.e; the Mcdonalds Chicken McNuggets were delicious and healthy, as usual, but there was something off about his Burger King Chicken Fries.
