it's hard to give content warnings for a short story collection. i mean it's a horror collection so all these stories are pretty graphic and bloody - but some go into a lot of detail about sexual assault, pedophilia and torture, there's also a story about a man experiencing what i think is schizophrenic or bipolar delusions that could be triggering.

idk_indigo's review against another edition

I don't like the short stories in audiobook format. It's too confusing. I also don't think this is the book for me. A lot of the stories were interesting, but heavy warning for so many things.
