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.

An interesting take on horror against the backdrop of a classic gothic setting. I really enjoyed Easton, and appreciated the inclusion of a central non-binary/gender neutral character. There were moments of true horror to make your skin crawl.
