I can sort of see this point of view but at the same time I've read some books where there has been a scene or scenes that has unexpectedly fucked me up and I can't stop thinking about it. Usually I see it coming though from the genre or reviews etc that there might be some disturbing content so I personally am not too bothered. I recognise that there are personal thresholds of tolerance with this stuff however.

Same! I go into a book with some basic expectations, because I read a lot of horror/thriller stuff, and I know I can handle a lot of darker content, and I know if I don't feel like it's a good day to read about torture or sexual assault or murder, then I won't read those books until I think I can handle what they're going to throw at me. But there are triggers I have that aren't related to staples of the genres I read, and I've legit thrown a book cross the room just as a REFLEX because I wasn't expecting something to actually fuck me up.


With popular books, you can get a lot of information out of reviews, but if you have triggers that are less standard but still the kind of thing that doesthedogdie would list, it's a little harder-- not every book gets a review that goes into all those things.

Agreed. I could certainly have done with a trigger warning on Deerskin. I'm still inclined to shudder at that one and it's been twenty years.
