A lot of the book is about how the reader feels when reading it. Hitchcock was heavily interested in psychoanalysis and manipulating the viewers when watching his movies, I tried to have glimpses of this in the book.

Macguffins in my publication...
Throughout the book, I've placed 'macguffins' in random contexts to throw off the reader and give them a device that sucks them in but is ultimately meaningless and secondary to the overall aim. A macguffin described by Hitchcock is a plot device that the hero/heroine will do anything to achieve, but ultimately is never explained why. Or why it's indeed so important. I tried to translate this to the book.
