Will you still read a story with a 2500+ words backstory of the narrator
As the name suggests, I am currently writing a story about the main character/ narrator discovering a cult. I want to incorporate the cult creeping in the backstory, as I am familiar with writing novels, even as a novice, and I am inclined to tell the backstory of my characters. But in the format of scary stories, will it still be appropriate to write a backstory that isn't 100% inportant to the main character but explains her actions via her upbringing?
