* CompleteMonster: [[EldritchAbomination Tak]] is a sadistic entity who [[DemonicPossession possesses]] autistic child Seth Garin with intent to [[RealityWarper rewrite reality]] to its whims. Orchestrating the slaughter of Seth's entire family, [[PsychicAssistedSuicide forcing his uncle to commit suicide]], and turning his aunt Audrey into an abused slave that Tak regularly tries to rape, Tak begins terrorizing the town Wentworth with a series of mass shootings that claim several innocent lives. Slowly transforming Wentworth into a deadly pastiche of the Old West with intentions on "wiping this town off the map!", Tak further tortures and kills off various townsfolks in the name of feasting on their pain and suffering, culminating in Tak trying to wholly override Seth's willpower by torturing Audrey to death [[ForcedToWatch while he watches]].

* HilariousInHindsight: One character describes the situation as "''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' but the Music/NineInchNails version." Four years or so after ''The Regulators'' was published, ''VideoGame/AmericanMcGeesAlice'' chronicled Alice's adventures in a deeply twisted Wonderland not entirely dissimilar to the world of this novel, with an original musical score composed by Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna.
