To create an eerie atmosphere in the story “A Face in the Dark” the author has used his description of the surroundings and the boy, clever narrative of the story and even the title.
Some of the words that help him create an atmosphere of eeriness, suspense and mystery are —
returning to his school late one night
strong wind
sad, eerie sounds that kept most people to the main road
the batteries were running down
moved fitfully down the narrow forest path
flickering light fell in the figure of a boy
sitting alone on a rock
sensed that something was wrong
head hung down
body shook convulsively
strange soundless weeping
racked with silent sobbing
a round smooth head
torch fell from his trembling hand
running blindly through the trees
lantern swinging in the middle of the path
wind blew the lamp out etc.
