Graphic

- 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.

- Gore Injuries and crime scenes described in graphic physical detail.
- Abuse Emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, sometimes in a character's past, sometimes on the page.

- Psychological abuse Control, gaslighting, or punishment aimed at a character's mind.
- Stalking Surveillance, break-ins, following, or a hero who will not leave.
