Apparently to get a 90% accuracy of accurately capturing traits of a population you need a subject size of 130 people. There's no way Kantor studied 130 people with AvPD, and even if he had, he would have only been 90% accurate. A subject pool of 40 people is only 50% accurate. Basically he was taking a stab in the dark.

Where's the like button?

I'd say the Kantor vibe is somewhere between a crime thriller and the fantastique, which is the weirdness and sense of altered reality found in supernatural and horror stories.
