It messed me up. The interactions between the characters were confusing sometimes, which I'm chalking up to the writing style of the time, but oh man. Why did I spend so long reading Stephen King? I wish I could go back to my 13-year-old self and point to the REST of the horror section.
Moderate: Suicide and Blood
Minor: Child death
