This book had some really evocative images and ideas, but you can find these ideas in a book that is significantly less socially darwinistic / flat out racist and ableist.
Graphic: Racism, Ableism, Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Body horror
Moderate: Blood, Alcohol, Alcoholism, Mental illness, Violence, and Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Religious bigotry
