the only accepted use of it is all of a sudden
Ha, I had the same reaction but the opposite way: the sudden?
Suddenly?
All my troubles seemed so far away?
Donβt you mean, βIβm not half the man I used to beβ?
All of a sudden could be replaced with the adverb suddenly

All of a sudden or suddenly. Leaning back on old camp counsellor story telling, I think all of a sudden would be better for building tension whereas a quick, staccato **suddenly! **acts like a verbal bang or jump start, if that makes any sense.
I like that, suddenly is sudden to the listener, all of a sudden is surprising to the story's characters, and makes the listener anticipate that surprise without being able to warn them about it
