Fëalórin asked C.J. Brightley:

Does your "Long Forgotten Song" series contain much graphic violence/scary scenes? I read the first chapter of "Things Unseen" on your website, and while I like what the book sounds like it's about, I'm not certain I wanted to get it, as it sounded rather dark, which is a quality my mother may not like very much.

C.J. Brightley I'm so sorry I missed this question! It may be dark for her... I'd compare it to Ted Dekker's Circle Cycle or Frank Peretti's This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness in terms of content. It isn't horror, but there are some horror elements in it. As a book, it's probably pushing the edge of PG-13 in violence and dark themes, but if it were a movie, it would definitely be R (especially later in the series), because the images would be more graphic than how I've described the events.
