Content warnings

Part of the point of horror novels, I think, is to let readers explore fear in a space safely removed from reality. If you've picked up one of my books, you're probably expecting to be unsettled, scared, or otherwise disturbed - and I hope you will be!

But we all have a line past which, for whatever reason, things get too close to home.

I can't say I want you to be comfortable. But I'm not in this game to traumatize (or re-traumatize) anybody. So if you need to, please make use of the notes below.

Thank you to all the lovely readers on Goodreads who have taken the time to flag potentially triggering material for others.
