Vernacular literature is literature written in the vernacular—the form of a language that a particular group of speakers use naturally, especially in informal situations: Originally, this effectively meant literature not written in Latin

Wit

Wit is a form of intelligent humour, the ability to say or write things that are clever and usually funny. A wit is a person skilled at making clever and funny remarks

Tone and Mood

Tone is the implied attitude of a writer toward the subject and characters of a work. Mood is the general feeling or atmosphere that a piece of writing creates within the reader

"The candle flickered as the old door creaked open. A chill ran down her spine—was she truly alone?" Which literary device is in the text and why?

Wich literary term is used here and why: 'If life was a contest, I'd be winning- at least for the title of 'Most Likely to Get Locked in a Room by a Sociopath.'
