Content Warnings

My fiction blends eco-horror, folk horror, and the weird. Below are non-spoiler warnings to help readers make informed choices.

Horror fans often come to books to be thrilled or frightened, but I don't know what each reader has experienced in their life. I'd much rather give some clue to content rather than cause harm. 

As an author, of course, I want people to read and enjoy my books. I hope these lists don't put anyone off reading my stories, but I understand if they do.

If you need more clarification around any of these themes, please contact me.

Read on, or don't. It's totally up to you.
