Sufficiently scary in the horror way while also being scary in the interpersonal way. Though warning: if you don't like gore, don't come within 10 feet of this book. Much like blood from the walls, it oozes from every page.
Graphic: Body horror, Murder, Domestic abuse, Torture, Blood, Violence, Child death, Toxic relationship, Death, Injury/Injury detail, and Gore
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury, Emotional abuse, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Mental illness, Addiction, Alcoholism, and Physical abuse
Minor: Forced institutionalization, Kidnapping, Suicide, Cannibalism, and Gaslighting
