Pretty Dead Things Content and Triggers

Triggers & Content List

While every effort has been taken to make sure the even the smallest trigger is listed, Sadie and her team are human and therefore it is possible that some may slip through.

Pretty Dead Things deals with some pretty heavy things, Domestic Violence, Self-Harm, & Suicidal Ideation being discussed and experienced throughout. Please check your headspace before diving in. Not everything on this list is meant to identify as a trigger, for some it is simply "a head’s up this is in the book".
