Graphic: Suicide and Body horror
Moderate: Death and Alcohol
Minor: Abandonment and Adult/minor relationship
Spoiler
Alcohol is consumed regularly in the novel. In the beginning, rituals are described in detail that include branding, burning, cutting off of body parts. It is not disgustingly graphic (in my opinion) but smells are described. There is a complicated relationship that at first seems like a relationship with a large age gap, and made me, personally, wonder if there was child grooming, but it is later explained through mythology and magic. The only graphic death is due to drowning. There are other deaths and false-deaths but they are not described in detail. No one dies from suicide, but there is a scene when there is a false, staged suicide that may be triggering to some.chelonie's review against another edition

Minor: Blood and Body horror
There is one scene near the end where a character has to face a particular type of monster.Spoiler
They take the forms of people from his mind to deceive him, so he has to kill people he knows over and over again to survive.strawberrypinch's review against another edition
