Misuse of the "acting like a certain bad thing is new because there's more attention on it" type.


* HarsherInHindsight: "Speaking Bitterness" is horrifying enough on its own, but eventually became an almost prescient warning about the kind of violence and harassment transgender women would face later in the 21st century, including from trans exclusionary radical feminists who would refuse them safety in women's spaces.

** Really, "Guts" might not be the worst one out of ''Haunted''.

* {{Squick}}: It really deserves its own page. The book contains, among other lovely things, the very detailed and extended description of the rotting of a corpse.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: While it's not really dwelt on in the narrative, the way Miss Sneezy escaped the medical facility: she ''walked'' across the bottom of Hudson Bay using her hazmat suit to provide her with oxygen.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: "Guts" has a funny moment before all the horror. The narrator recounts the tale of a friend who tried to hide the carrot and Vaseline he was buying to masturbate with among other purchases, including eggs and sugar: "Like he's going home to stick a carrot cake up his butt."

[[redirect:YMMV/{{Haunted}}]]* CrossesTheLineTwice: Comrade Snarky [[spoiler:unknowingly eating flesh that was cut from her body while she was comatose]]? Horrific. Her recognising [[spoiler:her own tattoo]] crosses it over into the surreal. Her stunned question: "You [[spoiler:fed me my own ass]]?" [[BlackComedy Darkly hilarious]].

** The short story "Guts." There just isn't enough BrainBleach.
** Really, "Guts" might not be the worst one out of ''Haunted''.
** Director Denial's story starts with a social worker practicing CPR on a dummy which turns out to be full of [[spoiler:semen. From more than one man. Collected during a considerable period of time.]]

* {{Narm}}: Everything after the characters start sabotaging the food stores, as this is where Paluhnick forgets he's writing for humans and starts writing them as mouthpieces.
* {{Squick}}: It really deserves its own page.
* WhatAnIdiot: The Matchmaker [[spoiler:ends up dying after he gets someone to chop off his dick, despite knowing that in his story, the general dies right after accidentally doing the same to himself.]]

* CompleteMonster: Mr. Whittier. He presides over the isolation game, created the Nightmare Box, [[spoiler:tricked women into having sex with him ([[{{Jailbait}} a thirteen-year old suffering from progeria]])]], apparently all just for kicks. That last item was also [[spoiler:rather financially lucrative, what with the blackmail payments]].
