Nowhere Stars is a horror story that features childhood trauma as a central theme. It contains content that could be unsettling or upsetting. The story includes or will include:

I’ve done my best to cover the broad themes you should be aware of here, but due to the nature of the serial format, this list may not be exhaustive. Consider it as establishing the story’s “typical” level of darkness and heaviness. If you’re in a position where a story centered on these themes might be painful for you in a way you can’t manage or safely disengage from, my work may not be right for you at the moment – please take care of yourself.
