Just wanted to bring some awareness to this project. I know the author, Erica, from being on the Unsung Horrors podcast a few times and figure some here might appreciate what she's doing here.

"I'm sorry, you wrote a book about WHAT?
Years ago, I began a private list on Letterboxd of all of the films I had watched with a child killed. My only goal was to have the most comprehensive list on the app once I made it public. That was it. I was able to add quite a few to my list that I didn’t have after Fantastic Fest 2019 when Zack Carlson programmed a clip show of child kills called The Sweetest Taboo: 100 Best Kills (title by Lars Nilsen). Sometime later, I told Zack about the list I was working on, and through some kind of manic, hypnotic somersaulting of words and flailing, he convinced me to turn it into a book. So here we are.
Not many people will appreciate or even tolerate this kind of thing in a film, including publishers, and this is why I am crowdfunding this project. This is not a book for everyone; it will probably make some people mad, especially those who need trigger warnings and frequent doesthedogdie.com. But this book is not an endorsement of the act, it is an appreciation of those films which had the guts to break the taboo of killing a child in a film and my enjoyment of that. Remember folks, these are movies, not real life."
