Graphic
- Sexual assault Sexual violence is part of the story. Read only if you want that on the page.
- Kidnapping Someone is taken. The taking is not a joke setup.
- Murder Characters kill, or a killing sits at the centre of the book.
- Violence Fights, assaults, or bloodshed that is part of the plot, not a metaphor.
- Abuse Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, sometimes in a character's past, sometimes on the page.
- Torture Deliberate infliction of pain. Not a fade-to-black fight.
- Death Named characters die, or death is a constant of the world.
- Psychological abuse Control, gaslighting, or punishment aimed at a character's mind.
- Stalking Surveillance, break-ins, following, or a hero who will not leave.

- Captivity A character is held, owned, or not free to walk out.
- Gore Injuries and crime scenes described in graphic physical detail.
