YMMV / Bizenghast

Go To

  • Fan Nickname: Her Little Ladyship is a variation. Initially, she was listed in the script simply as "ghost", but fans started referring to her as "Her Little Ladyship", and the nickname stuck.
  • Growing the Beard: When Bizenghast began, the first volume focused on the fact that Dinah was able to see and interact with the numerous ghosts that haunt her home. As the books progressed this aspect was near dropped entirely save for Dinah's interaction with the ghost of Addie Clark. On a wider scale, the series gradually moved away from the "save tortured souls" as the main plot and began to focus on Dinah's growth as a person and the overall dark history behind Bizenghast. The change is lampshaded by Edaniel in the sixth book:
    Edaniel: It used to be so simple, huh? Solve riddle A, clear out vault B, learn valuable lesson C.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: In volume three Vincent is seeing wearing a shirt belonging to his father and saying it's too big. Dinah says he'll grow into it. Cue volume 4 and Vincent dying at the end.
  • Nightmare Fuel: More than you can shake a stick at. Case in point, volume 8. Maphohetka's true form. It's not pretty.
