The apartment house had a communal attic rarely visited by its tenants. The labeled boxes and cast-off furniture offered little intrigue, so few explored its depths. Then one rainy afternoon, I ventured there seeking solitude. Roaming beyond the beams of the lone ceiling bulb, I spied only cobwebs until I rounded the corner of a hulking armoire. Beyond this antique was unrelenting shadow, but I willed myself to advance. Then a grim bellow of thunder resounded, sending me to the floor. Prostrate on the splintered beams, my hands felt a shaft of cold steel and I could but imagine the evil article I’d encountered.What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?

The word that the author used to create suspense in the excerpt is the use of the word choice.

This is the way of creating an uneasy feeling in a reader. The feeling is from the fact that the reader does not know what would occur next.

The types of words that the author uses was what was used to create this. The person reading would not have an idea of what would happen next.
