"tenantless night" LOL, what does that even MEAN? it sounds great, but what does it MEAN? Is this Cormac McCarthy? Cause it sounds like EXACTLY the overwraught "cult of the sentence" writing that Brian Reynolds Myers mocked so mercillesly in "A Reader's Manifesto" https://twitter.com/mardirooster/status/1307821784746659841 …

4/ Anyway, this is terrible writing, and you should not be taken in by it. You should, however, read "A Reader's Manifesto", or, at the very least, read the shorter essay version online. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2001/07/a-readers-manifesto/302270/ … It will insulate you from the siren call of this sort of badness.
