Carnival Of Shadows trigger warnings

⚠️ Trigger Warnings: Don’t Say I Didn’t Fucking Warn You ⚠️

This book isn’t soft. It isn’t safe. It isn’t romance in the way you’ve been spoon-fed on TikTok. It’s obsession, filth, blood, and madness — wrapped in silk and barbed wire.

If you choose to keep reading, that’s on you. Not me.

🩸 Sexual Violence & Filth

  • Non-consent & dub-con sex. Not hinted. Not fade-to-black. On the fucking page.

  • Girl-on-girl coercion. Yes, it happens. No, it’s not gentle.

  • Predatory obsession. Age gaps. Authority figures. Power imbalances everywhere.

  • Degradation, humiliation, name-calling. You’ll either flinch or come harder.

  • Fear kink. Stalking. Watching. Breaking. Owning.

  • Rough sex: choking, slapping, spitting, bruises, chains, knives, masks, blood play.

  • Psychological kink: edging, denial, manipulation until you don’t know who the fuck you are anymore.

⚔️ Violence & Gore

  • On-the-page violence. Beatings, stabbings, blood, broken bones.

  • Dead parents. Dead friends. Dead innocence.

  • Rot, decay, corpses, rats, filth. Nothing is clean here.

🧠 Psychological Mindfuckery

  • Gaslighting, grooming, and obsession.

  • Institutional abuse. Children’s home / asylum setting.

  • Religious trauma. God isn’t saving anyone here.

  • Trauma, PTSD, suicidal ideation, self-destruction.

  • You will question your own morals for getting wet during this.

💊 Lifestyle & Setting

  • Drug use, alcohol, and addiction.

  • Starvation, deprivation, cruelty-as-normal.

  • Hopelessness as wallpaper.

⚡ Tone & Promise

This book:

  • Does not redeem its monsters.

  • Does not gift you a happy ending.

  • Does not give a single fuck if it ruins your night.

If you’re fragile, close it.
If you’re brave, proceed.
And if you whine about it later? That’s on you, bitch.
