Alcohol—they drink. A lot. It’s basically a social currency at this point.  

Anxiety—both on-page and probably what you’ll feel reading this book.  

Death of children—mentioned a few times, no details, no celebrations.  

Decapitations—yes, plural. Different people though. Not sewing heads back on.  

Sharp objects make frequent guest appearances. Spoiler: they’re not just for decoration.  

Sexually explicit content—like you weren’t here for it.  

Blood. So much blood—Because apparently functional internal organs are optional.  

Toxic relationships—is this a trigger or just the entire genre?  

Strangulation—Not the sexy kind. Just the “please stop breathing” kind.  

Lord of the Rings references  

Disney references  

Friends references  

One Harry Potter reference  

Murder & Mayhem—morally inexcusable, legally questionable, narratively inevitable.  

Physical abuse/ Scarring—it’s not fun, it’s not sexy, and it’s definitely in here.  

Mental health (loneliness, dark thoughts) —Everyone’s spiraling. Join the party.  

Rape—off-page, and it’s with a twist, though not a physical one.  

Nightmares—Because sleep is just trauma with a soundtrack.  

Gaslighting—If you think it’s happening, it probably is. Or maybe it’s not. Maybe you’re just being sensitive. Wait…were we even talking about this?  

Manipulation—Trust no one. Not even me.  

Emotional intensity—Feelings ahead. They’re loud, messy, and show up uninvited. Proceed with snacks.  

Emotional distress—Plot twist: it’s you. You’ll be the emotionally distressed one.  

PTSD—Trauma: the gift that keeps on flashbacking.  

War—Now featuring scenic destruction, emotional baggage, and enough generational trauma to keep your therapist employed for years.  

Alcoholism—yes, again. When they drink this much, it deserves a second mention.
