** The mere experience of going through the stones is shown to be quite traumatic for ''adults''. Mandy seems to have some memory of it, despite being less than a year old at the time. Jem ''definitely'' remembers.

* The Moorwen's "roar." It's like three sounds in one. Imagine the low rumble of a giant growl, a bit of a lion's guttural growl in the middle, topped off with a higher pitched metallic screech. It's not until halfway through the film that we actually see the beast, so all we get is this unnerving sound and the ominous lights preceding an attack.

* In another scene in the same novel, there's another [[NauseaFuel gloriously, gloriously detailed]] description of a man left catatonic from a stroke lying on the floor of his house, literally rotting because his wife, who he'd been beating, refused to help him. Perhaps I'm just sensitive to the thought of rotting living flesh, but... ugh.

* After an outburst from Jem, Brianna realizes that Lionel Menzies suspects Rob had taken Jem to rape the boy. She doesn't ''entirely'' dissuade Menzies of this notion, though Menzies later finds out about the time travel element. Under the circumstances, one wouldn't be surprised if Menzie's initial assumption was shared by others as well.
* Brianna joining her parents in the past could be considered this, since Claire feels partially responsible for any harm that comes to Brianna in the past. If Brianna had died in childbirth or of some other preventable disease, I doubt Claire would ever forgive herself.

* In one of the Lord John side-novels, there's mention of how the main character had been raped as a teenager. And how never knowing the identity of his rapist, he had to carry on functioning with no way to be sure if it had been just bad luck that he'd been there... or if the rapist was someone he knew, someone he interacts with on a daily basis. And not being able to tell anyone. It's by no means the most overtly disturbing mention of rape in Gabaldon's books, but it made me shudder.

Moved from the general Lit NF page.
Added DiffLines:
Diana Gabaldon's ''Literature/{{Outlander}}'' series is a goldmine for NightmareFuel. It's definitely a change of some sort from the average quasi-fluffy historical romance.
* A particularly brutal rape scene in the first book. Oh God, Jamie's fingers.
