A note for parents
Down Among the Sticks and Bones is a dark fantasy novella featuring two sisters who escape to an alternate gothic world. While it has emotional depth and LGBTQ+ representation, it contains horror elements, thematic darkness around family trauma and abuse, and scenes of fantasy violence that make it better suited for mature teens. The story rewards resilience and self-determination but doesn't shy away from heavy emotional and psychological themes.
