* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: What did humanity do to set Erekose/John Daker against them and wipe them out? When humanity started winning against the more advanced Eldren race thanks to Erekose initially siding with them, they would rape Eldren women and children. And in the Corum stories, Corum is already pissed at humanity for mutilating him and killing his family, when he receives a vision of humans raping his mother and sisters before their murder, he really wants to put humans to the sword (though he gets better about this unlike Erekose).

* SpaceIsolationHorror: His novel about escaping from a lunatic dying Earth, ''The Black Corridor'', uses this trope repeatedly, in the isolation felt by a crew-member on the escape ship who is doing his twenty-five year solo stint at flying the ship, attending to emergencies, and seeing nobody dies in suspended animation. This gives him time to brood and go quietly insane.
