Dark Romance Needs Trigger Warnings… But Thrillers Get a Pass?!
12 oktober 2026 · 43 min
Dark romance often comes with a long list of trigger warnings, but what about thrillers and horror? 👀 Lees meer
This week, we’re discussing why expectations differ between genres, whether content warnings spoil the story, and when a warning starts sounding more like a selling point.
Do you check content warnings before reading, or prefer to go in blind?
Grab your drink and let’s sip, flip, and spill the tea! 📚🍸
