In Diviners, there is a scene in which Tommy Duffy is dared to enter an old butchery warehouse. They mention a ferocious guard dog that has long teeth and eats kids. Inside, there is trouble, and Tommy falls to the ground and backs up in a crawl, but comes into blood on the floor, still dripping. Looking up, he sees the previously mentioned German Shepherd hanging from butchers hooks, innards spilling from its belly.

There are multiple gorey murders throughout the book. They become less described as time goes on and the main character does not personally witness the murder scene.

Relevant to historically accurate language use, but it is not excessive and the author navigates this area very considerately.

Multiple characters suffer from PTSD. Evie, vicariously and through the loss of her older brother. Theta, from previous domestic violence. Sam, from the loss of his mother. Memphis, from the loss of his mother and his healing abilities. Jericho, from his childhood illness and experimentation. Almost every character exhibits signs of PTSD.
