A man dies of suicide off-page early in the book. His body is described briefly, but there is no gore. His death is referenced occasionally throughout the rest of the book.

A worm-like creature buries itself in a child's foot, and multiple attempts are made to pull the worm out of the hole. It doesn't cause much pain, due to the supernatural nature of the worm.

Someone attempts to drown a child halfway through the book - and the child is also threatened with drowning - but the child does not die.

A child is followed with the attempt of stopping them from leaving a stretch of land, and someone can essentially read the child's thoughts and uses them to track the child.

Creatures take on the form of several characters to trick another character into doing something near the end of the book, but no one is possessed.

A child is almost drowned, and the scene is described in detail. The child is also punished with isolation, and an adult threatens to lie about the child's behavior to humiliate the child and lead to punishment.

A kitten dies off-page in chapter one. Its body and burial are referenced, but there is never any detailed description of it.

It's bittersweet, leaning a little more to the sad side of things, but it's not a tragedy.
