* NightmareFuel:
** [[spoiler: Natalie's expression at the start of Volume 5]] is far too evocative of a small, defenseless animal getting gutted. Later on, we see a young lady jogging in the park who is then [[spoiler: ambushed and stabbed in the gut from behind by the local SerialKiller.]] [[PrimalFear Thanks, Campbell!]]
** [[spoiler: The razor-toothed ghost of Fern]] is tremendously unnerving.
* {{Squick}}:
** [[spoiler: The graphic detail Campbell put into Natalie's face getting slashed open.]]
** A lot of what Slicer says and does is just gross, like his comments about Asian women.
** The bathroom in Simmons Hall is very filthy. Even the characters comment on it.
* {{Tearjerker}}: Book six, ''dear God'', book six.
* TheWoobie:
** Oh god, ''Cleo''. She's been mistreated by a boyfriend, and is very emotionally vulnerable.
** Audrey is firmly cemented as one as of book six. As if her situation wasn't complicated enough before, [[spoiler: she finally comes out to her parents and they seem to reject her completely.]]
