My dropped-out recipient requested a mystery/horror story in the style of H.P. Lovecraft, so all the serious horror/Unspeakable Rites aspects of the story are my pitiful attempts at pastiching his style.
Other than that, as far as references go: Casablanca, Cabaret, The Sound of Music, Indiana Jones, The Desert Peach, and J.R.R. Tolkien TWICE! Wanted to do something with Inglourious Basterds and Ilse: The She-Wolf of the SS, but didn't quite get that in. XD
I did not strong-arm the artist into anything (although she worried her distinctive style would blow my anonymity too). I just made sure she had the opportunity, and she went above and beyond. :D
