If you love Robert Eggers "The Witch" and want it to have more representation, this is the novel for you. Plus the atmosphere and spooky aesthetics in this novel are impeccable.
Graphic: Xenophobia
Moderate: Gun violence
Minor: Xenophobia
There is a graphic c-section in the novel, and it does result in the death of a supporting character. If you have experienced anything similar to that, beware. Also, there is mention of witchcraft as a sin, so be prepared if you are wiccan or practice witchcraft in your own life.
