There’s an infamous scene where a child is forced to inflict a pretty upsetting act and it’s basically impossible to appropriately and accurately describe in trigger warnings. So, WARNING WARNING WARNING

A very trigger heavy, disturbing read. Well written, creepy and unforgettable. Lots of cursing, obscenities and gore.
