Content Warnings

Graphic: Slavery, Sexism, and Misogyny

Moderate: Death, Murder, Violence, Confinement, Fire/Fire injury, Blood, Torture, Grief, Death of parent, Child death, Terminal illness, Alcoholism, and Child abuse

Minor: Vomit, Animal death, Sexual assault, and Sexual content

Most warnings only apply to some sections. In particular: Slavery is only graphically depicted in "The Finder," but is mentioned in almost all other stories. In "Dragonfly," attempts are made to coerce a woman into sex and intimacy; a woman is later also observed bathing without her consent, though implicitly not in a sexual manner. In the same story, a child is given alcohol in passing, and a horse is semi-graphically wounded by a dog.
