Not sure if pedophilia counts for The Scene near the end, because they’re all the same age. But it is graphic and they are all young.

This is my favorite book. It means the world to me, and I’ve read it more times than I can count. The audiobook in particular is a treat. It’s a masterpiece of horror for a reason. But it is also a beautiful meditation on childhood and friendship.
