* CruelTwistEnding: ''Beyond the grave'' had a particularly jarring example. After the teenage heroine has spent the entire novel trying to collect the three [[ArtifactOfDoom Artifacts of Doom]] on the orders of the villain (even visiting the underworld in the process), she is captured by him after she befriends and falls in love with the bearer of the last one, a teenage boy. He goes to collect the RealityWritingBook to get her back in a HostageForMacGuffin exchange when he discovers that his younger brother (who's just learned how to write) used one of the pages to spell out "THE SUN GOES OUT". Nothing gets resolved, all life on Earth is just going to expire in an endless ice age. The end.

* ParasiticImmortality: "Dead Eyes". An ancient Chinese emperor made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] with a demonic EvilSorcerer for eternal life. However, ordinary humans cannot be made immortal except by stealing the lifeforce of others, so the sorcerer arranged for the emperor's soul to be placed into a new body whenever the current one died of old age. The plot is started when the most recent transference goes wrong and causes the emperor to be trapped in a conscious host.

The physical effect it has on him clearly implies the demon feeds on lifeforce.

He notes that [[WasOnceAMan she was once a Mongolian prostitute]] who died of AIDS before he performed a ritual that turned her into a succubus-like being.

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Most of the students in the ''Griezelklas'' books are not really malevolent even if they're monsters (werewolves, witches, leprechauns, etc.). Even the ones who eat the occasional human are just following their nature. However, get on their bad side, and you're in for a world of hurt.



* PlantPerson: ''De Wortels van het Woud'' (The Roots of the Forest) is about a brother and sister who find out that their parents are actually trees who escaped from a divine forest so that they could become human. The brother discovers this when he sticks his feet in open ground in the moonlight, which suddenly sprout branches. However, they are pursued by the guardian of the forest, who himself is also a plant person (as the brother realizes that the man in the overcoat approaching their front door ''[[GlamourFailure doesn't have bending knees]]'', as if his legs were simply trunks).

* MightyWhitey: Averted to an almost shocking degree in a short story published in an anthology. The main character is a loser hunter who grew up in a Viking settlement in Greenland, and both he and the rest of his Norse neighbors are perfectly cognizant that the native tribes are far more ferocious and knowledgeable of the land than they can ever appreciate. He's driven to go on a [[BearsAreBadNews suicidal hunt for a frickin' polar bear]] to win the favor of the prettiest girl in town, only to be tricked by an [[MagicalNativeAmerican indigenous shaman]] into killing one of his rivals (who had transformed himself into a polar bear) after giving him an enchanted spear. The ghost of the dead shaman returns and orders the inuit to exterminate the entire norse settlement in retribution.
