Content Warnings

Graphic: Blood, Body horror, and Gore

Moderate: Murder, Suicide, Injury/Injury detail, Death, Death of parent, and Violence

The horror of the book is largely body horror. Below, I'll describe what kinds of body horror you should expect.

There are many descriptions of strange mutations. However, no graphic descriptions of someone actively mutating. There are many mentions of various kinds of wounds and bleeding. There are some mentions of vomiting strange substances or objects. There are some mentions of feeling something move under their skin. There is one brief mention and one longer description of someone deliberately digging through their own flesh.
