so well-researched and broad that it hit on something from every part of my a level course 😳 slightly spooky! if it was a little less repetitive, info-overload-y and better organised in terms of chapters this would be a 5/5 for sure but as it is I recommend any humanities student, let alone literature need read it!! there really is something for everyone here.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Body horror, Death, Gore, Blood, Cannibalism, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Mental illness, Misogyny, Physical abuse, Sexual content, Antisemitism, and Medical content
Minor: Forced institutionalization and Colonisation
