Really terrible and traumatic cat death considering how much it was built up to rescuing the cat before it is beat to death viciously with a shovel. Near the end of the book.

While there is no possession per se, the experience of being in The Bright bears some similarity to it: People forget who they are, share memories, and become easy to manipulate.

Suicide is frequently mentioned and described. Many characters die by suicide to avoid dying of fire or disease. There are depictions of people jumping from burning buildings. The protagonist contemplates suicide by drowning herself but does not act on it.
