WARNING: This anthology contains some depictions and discussions of sexual violence and r//pe!!
Bound in Flesh is a phenomenal horror anthology, one I’ve enjoyed thoroughly practically every entry in. If you’re a queen horrorhead like me, it’s definitely for you.
However, I would have appreciated a trigger list or warning somewhere in the early book pages, or on the sale page. A particular story in the anthology blindsided me with its sudden and stark portrayal, brief as it was, of sexual violence. I knew afterwards that I could expect such topics potentially going forward, but a warning still would have been appreciated.
The book is wonderful, if you have the stomach for such things! A must read, even. Thank you to the creators who put this out there!
