Graphic
- Blood Blood is visual and repeated, often in vampire or violence plots.
- Murder Characters kill, or a killing sits at the centre of the book.
- Kidnapping Someone is taken. The taking is not a joke setup.
- Death Named characters die, or death is a constant of the world.
- Violence Fights, assaults, or bloodshed that is part of the plot, not a metaphor.
- Torture Deliberate infliction of pain. Not a fade-to-black fight.
- Sexual assault Sexual violence is part of the story. Read only if you want that on the page.
- Gore Injuries and crime scenes described in graphic physical detail.
