Misogyny is another heavily prevalent aspect of this book. I did not even try to count the number of times every woman in the book is referred to as “whore” or “bitch” or “slut”. Violence against women and the hatred of sex workers in general is a very prevalent theme throughout.

Blood is constantly described and present in this book, often in copious amounts at any given time, and often used in ritualistic settings.There are numerous graphic murders, the majority of which happen via a firearm.
There are two serial killers, a cis man and cis woman team, who rape cis men and torture them physically until they eventually kill them. The torture is almost never described at all, and, if it is referenced, it is vague.
One character is a pedophile, but there is only one instance where this is referenced in a vague non-graphic way.
Another character is an adult man in his late twenties, I believe, who repeatedly coerces and manipulates young women and underage girls into having sex with him, claiming this is the way to their salvation. A couple of these girls are underage, one being 14 and the other 16.
There is the death of a dog, and the dog is then treated as a ritualistic sacrifice. This one dog’s death is a recurring plot element throughout the book.
There is one character who is obsessed with spiders and also bugs in general. At one point, he takes a giant jar filled up with spiders, opens it, tips it over, and spills them all over his face and body. There’s a lot of spiders in that scene.
Later, that same character is said to have been bitten by a spider and is suffering from that. Again later on, he not only still has the spiders but not eats bugs by the handfuls. This is decently graphic in how it’s described.
Sex work, as a whole, and the sex workers themselves in this book are treated abominably. The book is rampant with misogyny and violence toward women.
Alcoholism is referenced for one character, but many characters drink, in general.
