Content Warnings

Graphic: Fatphobia, Murder, Child abuse, Racial slurs, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Gun violence, Pedophilia, Rape, Adult/minor relationship, Addiction, Alcoholism, Child death, and Sexual content

The protagonist is a sober alcoholic. The plot revolves around the rape and murder of a woman as well as the rape and murder of a child on tape. One of the (dead) character's weight is mentioned whenever he is brought up. There are some racial slurs littered throughout the novel as well as some gun violence at the end of the book. I definitely didn't catch every content warning that could be applied to the book but this should at least give people an idea of how brutal this book is.
