Crimson Fall - Content Warnings

While this novel generally avoids any overtly graphic description of violence or explicit depictions of sex, it does contain themes and scenes that may be unsuitable for younger readers. I would suggest that it has less violence and death than the "Harry Potter" series, and yet it explores more mature situations and consequences.

If you have any specific questions, or if you've read the novel and have suggestions for additional content warnings, please email me at quill18@quill18.com and make sure to include "Crimson Fall" in the subject.

Language

• Infrequent use of mild profanity (e.g., "hell", "heck")
• Two instances of stronger language ("bitch", "horseshit")

Morality

• References to tobacco and alcohol
• Themes of manipulation and moral ambiguity
• Exploration of addiction-like cravings for blood

Violence

• Vampire-related violence (biting) and blood
• Brief descriptions of injuries in action scenes (e.g., broken arm, stabbing) without explicit mentions of blood or gore
• Mentions of blood on the ground and clothing after action scenes

Death

• References to "off-screen" deaths
• MODERATE EARLY SPOILER: The depiction of the main character's first hunt as a vampire, which results in the death of her victim from bloodloss.
• Very few instances of "on-screen" deaths during action scenes with brief descriptions of violence

Sex and Sexuality

• Romantic relationships
• Non-explicit intimate scenes
• MODERATE SPOILER: Two sex scenes where the actions are described using indirect language and poetic metaphor, though it is clear to mature readers what is happening.

Themes of Abuse and Trauma

• Themes of self-loathing, angst, depression
• Themes of psychological manipulation and gaslighting
• Themes of mind control
• Themes of loss of agency
• Depiction of a confrontational mentor-student relationship
• Brief mentions of considered self-harm
• MODERATE EARLY SPOILER: The main character's non-consensual transformation into a vampire may evoke themes of sexual assault. To be clear: no sexual assault occurs. At all. The actual transformation into a vampire happened BEFORE the start of the story, but is referenced and discussed.
