* DarkerAndEdgier: The book literally comes with a warning stating that it "travels to dimensions meant for older readers" - signifying that this book is going to catalog a lot more disturbing subject matter than what's allowed on Creator/DisneyChannel.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Heavily implied, given that part of the marketing focuses on how it is for a mature audience, not to mention that the black cover with a red Bill Cipher strongly gives off this vibe.
