3.0
Sometimes you just gotta write about weird sex
Graphic: Rape, Sexual content, Death, Gore, Murder, and Sexual violence
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Forced institutionalization, and Sexism
Minor: Racism and Vomit
The book is entirely about sex. Lots of urine. Several instances of rape. Two instances of fairly graphic necrophilia. Things are put into certain holes that should NOT be put into those holes
