While the actual murders are never explicitly described, rather being told through the in-universe short stories that inspired them, even just the implications snapping into place is a mortifying feeling. The twist near the end, too, is simultaneously shocking and fantastically set up in prior scenes.
Graphic: Murder, Child abuse, Violence, Child death, and Torture
Moderate: Suicide, Confinement, Blood, and Ableism
Minor: Incest, Rape, Alcoholism, Fire/Fire injury, Adult/minor relationship, and Gun violence
