** After the fight with Gert, Norman goes cartoonishly insane and begins acting like gimmicky slasher film villain, conversing constantly with a mask/puppet (which admittedly appears to be possessed) and repeatedly singing [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Name_Game The Name Game]]. His over-the-top behavior is at least reeled in by the time he finally finds Rose.

** Pam running eye-first into a coat hook, [[BloodyHilarious splatstick]]-style, and Officer Al's dissonantly blackly comedic death, which involves Norman politely leading him into the trunk of his own car while the oblivious man is bleeding out from being stabbed by Norman.

* CompleteMonster: [[KillerCop Norman Daniels]], Rose Daniels's husband, is a horrific example of a {{Domestic Abuse}}r. He has been beating and sexually abusing her for fourteen years; his abuse has caused her to miscarry, threatening to kill her if she ever tells anyone about the incident. After he finds out that she left him, he is determined to hunt her down and torture her to death. His methods for locating his ex-wife are tracking down, torturing, and murdering the people who helped her. His favorite method of killing is [[ManBitesMan biting his victims to death]]. He is also a [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain racist, sexist, homophobic]] creep who thinks all feminists are lesbians and despises one of his victims as soon as he finds out he's Jewish.

Added DiffLines:

* RealismInducedHorror: As monstrous as his actions may seem, there are people like Norman Daniels in the real world. Several readers have noted as such and pointed out that Norman is an extremely violent but ultimately realistic depiction of a domestic abuser.

In-universe, not an audience reaction.


* MoralEventHorizon: In-universe, Rose decides that Norman has crossed the line when she notices the bloodstain on her bed and realizes that her life could be in danger if she remains with him.
