Stories containing sexual assault in Sour Heart: "My Days and Nights of Terror," "Our Mother's Before Them," and "The Empty the Empty the Empty"
*It's been awhile since I've read this book so if someone could confirm those are the stories I would really appreciate it!
**Also after thinking more about it and reading some reviews, I have different feelings about the book, and agree that it relies on shock value and wouldn't necessarily recommend it
