Story and Poetry Ratings Page
This page is presented not to rate the quality of the works on Strange Paths, but as a service to parents and to those who prefer not to read some of the more disturbing content we present. It will outline any parts of any of the works we publish as far as strong language, gore, violence, and overall scaryness. Stories and poems labeled as "Deals with some mature themes" are usually free of violence, language and disturbing content, but are intended for mature audiences as young children might not be able to appreciate them. As a warning, however, many of the description below will contain inherent spoilers as to major plot points, twists, and surprises in the works. Read on at your own risk :)
