Answer: The author of "The Interlopers" builds suspense at the end of the story by using the quiet, calm voice of the omniscient narrator, which initially comforts the reader with a sense of control over the events that it narrates. However, as the disquieting details accumulate, the lack of modulation in the tones of the narrator becomes one of the principal devices by which the suspense is developed and sustained1. The author also uses cliffhangers and imagery to create suspense2. The suspense in the story was created like a pyramid having 3 layers, with the foundation created by the expert detailing of the setting and the middle layer made up of the dialogue of the characters.
