Overall I don't feel like any particular thing was too graphic but the contents/plot/subplot can be a lot to take in in retrospect. It honestly wasn't until I was looking through the trigger warning list that I realized just how many played a part in this book, but I listed all as mild as none were terribly drawn out. It's a horror book. There are bound to be some horrible things in, especially when it has been an award winner. I rated it just about as high as I ever rate anything - it is excellent at what it does and the elements it is able to work inladyshieradoes's review against another edition

The illustrations helped move this book right along - a few startled the hell out of me.
A twisty turny plot that I -thought- I had figured out, and even though I was close, the delivery and total brutality still blindsided me.
A phenomenal, entertaining, super spooky haunting story that I already wish I could read again for the first time.
