There's a significant amount of gaslighting done to the main character throughout the book.silver_valkyrie_reads's review against another edition

I'm a huge fan of the part where the author writes homemakers in a respectful way, honoring what they do as homemakers, and of some of unusual juxtapositions that happen putting all of that in the context of a supernatural story. One of my favorites was the entire conversation discussing whether it's appropriate to take a casserole to someone after their relative has died, when that relative injured you before dying.
Definitely an older teens to adults only story, and probably not for sensitive readers regardless.

In addition, readers should be prepared for rats, cockroaches and related filth.
