While the book does contain bodily gore it is not very descriptive and briefly mentioned. The death and killing of small animals how is described and happens multiple times throughout the book. A reference to suicide to mentioned but describes of witnessed.

Obsessed. The quick witted gender nonconforming protagonist is an absolute delight. I will happily venture into the unknown with kan again and again. The dark gothic fungi infested mysteries of this book broke a spell of artists block for me that had gone on for over 6 months. Highly recommend if you enjoy fungi, dead things, rotting houses, and gothic mysteries.
