Content Warnings
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Animal cruelty, Animal death, Body horror, Cursing, Death, Gore, Incest, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Violence, Blood, Grief, Death of parent, Murder, Abandonment, Alcohol, Injury/Injury detail
To elaborate on content warnings: Two different instances of incest, both involving an adult & a minor. One was consensual in the real world and another was rape in a shared dream.
The animal cruelty is extremely gruesome and involves cats, so cat lovers should brace or skip this book altogether.
