Content Notes:
- Addiction and sobriety (drugs, but also literal addiction to a romantic partner)
- ADHD symptoms that aren’t diagnosed or acknowledged, characters themselves are unaware they exhibit them and blame themselves/other things for memory processing issues, hyperactivity, lack of impulse control, lack of focus, self-medication, etc.
- Animal death (a sheep for entrail reading purposes)
- Apocalypse threat – eldritch god destruction, but also destructive behaviour from insidious addiction to an image
- Arson and on-page fire (I know some people really don’t like this)
- Bereavement in complicated circumstances and varied – often messy/destructive – responses to grief; on-page memorial service
- Binges and their aftermaths, a minor (17F) having to handle some of this and being placed in a carer/parental role
- Body Horror
- Body dysmorphia & complex feelings around one’s own body, which can be read as similar to dysphoria
- Child neglect (historic) and mention of child sacrifice in cult context – no on-page depiction of this, and no minors feature in the book apart from the 17yo MC (the only minor MC, all other MCs are adults)
- Cult – family members being indoctrinated, joining out of trauma, and insider POV
- Depression (severe)
- Disordered eating in men that has gone unrecognised by others
- Dubious Consent (m/m)
- Emesis
- Erectile dysfunction
- Friendship issues, loss and arguments
- Gore (Graphic)
- Inbred family of sibling & cousin pairings, family culture of inbreeding is prized over ‘outbreeding’ but also joked about by family members
- Murder of close relatives by MCs
- Parasites, parasitical imagery, worm/maggot infestations in living flesh, graphic descriptions of wounds that may trigger Entomophobia or acarophobia, parasitic dermatophobia, or parasitophobia
- Relationship issues and complicated dynamics
- Self-harm and suicide ideation; suicide in cult context as ‘sacrifice’
- Self-mutilation for various reasons, to varying degrees: under the influence of addiction, and in cult context, and in ritual context.
- Sibling deaths and sibling estrangement; complicated sibling relationships; younger sibling caring for older sibling and vice versa.
- Trypophobia (descriptions that may trigger this)
