''And Then Emily Was Gone'' is a 2014 horror comic book written by John Lees, with art by Iain Laurie and colors by Megan Wilson.
One night, after disgraced former detective Greg Hellinger fails to get a single night of sleep away from the disturbing monsters he sees everywhere, he gets a knock on his door from a young girl named Fiona. Fiona has come to find Hellinger because he was known for finding missing people -- and Fiona's best friend Emily has gone missing.
Fiona and Emily are from Merksay, one of the [[UsefulNotes/{{Britain}} Orkney islands]]. One day, Emily told Fiona that "Bonnie Shaw" was coming for her. Bonnie Shaw, however, is just a local legend, a [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight bogeyman]] who makes [[DealWithTheDevil deals]] with parents in exchange for their children. He isn't real...or is he?
Hellinger initially doesn't want to take the case, but Fiona convinces him, so together they travel back to Merksay...and all the mysteries and horrors it contains.

!!''And Then Emily Was Gone'' contains the following tropes:
* AdultFear: The loss of a child.
* CircusOfFear: The Circus of the Night, led by Billy Styx. [[spoiler:They live on the same isle as Bonnie Shaw.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: Bonnie Shaw only takes the children of parents who make a deal with him. [[spoiler:Emily's mother made a deal to get rid of her husband's sickness.]]
* TheGrotesque: Big Carey of the Circus of the Night.
* RepulsiveRingmaster: Billy Styx of the Circus of the Night.
* SurrealHorror: Iain Laurie's art makes everyone, even the humans, look grotesque and strange.
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Bonnie Shaw, as well as all of the monsters Hellinger sees. Subverted, however, in that [[spoiler:Hellinger finds out he can actually control the monsters by talking to them.]]
* ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: Emily's father says that nobody should open the box and if they do, they will go insane. [[spoiler:Emily's mother opens it anyways.]]
* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Did Emily's father actually [[spoiler:dig out a parasite from his neck or is he just going insane]]? Did he really [[spoiler:find a conspiracy to place parasites inside everyone or simply lose his mind from the loss of Emily]]? None of it is ever resolved and the only other person who sees is Emily's mother, who might also be going insane.
