That being said, this book is disturbing and creepy. The first half in particular caused related nightmares of unheimlich architecture. The Minotaur story, especially as it relates to themes of fatherhood and shame were particularly moving.
My one real critique is that in parts of the second half it drags a bit and I, at times, found Truant’s purple prose boring.

Most of the trigger warnings are about things that are not detailed, but are things that move the story along or are background themes.crustywhitedog's review against another edition
