The Diary of Arez Smythe with a Silent ‘E’ is a prequel of sorts, containing the contents of the rewritten war diary Arez sends The Prophet to help with their endeavours to uncover the truth of the war.

Having personal experiences of PTSD, I take content warnings seriously. As a writer, I take spoilers seriously. Here’s an attempt at a happy medium.

Content Warnings include:

Broad content warnings: Abuse (child; emotional; physical; sexual), racism (including from the narrator), misogyny (including from the narrator), transphobia (including from the narrator), homophobia (including internalised homophobia from the narrator), colonialism & genocide (including references to real world cases and re-education institutes), and a lot of general talk about war. The reactions you can anticipate from people living under these conditions are there too.

It should also be stated that while this is a story about magical oppression, it is in no way allegorical, and exists alongside real-world oppression.

If you want further details or more specific CWs, feel free to DM me on Twitter or send me an ask on tumblr. I only request that you give me the option to reply privately! Otherwise it’s unfair on people trying to avoid spoilers.

The Diary of Arez Smythe with a Silent ‘E’ is available for direct purchase from the author on Patreon, or on Amazon or Apple.
