* The first time we see Lana in ''GONE'', she's in the passenger seat of a truck being driven by her Grandpa Luke. Then her grandpa disappears, [[AdultFear leaving her and her dog trapped in a truck out of control]]. What happens next is [[BloodyHorror grisly]] in its own right, and Michael Grant's description of the next few minutes for Lana is enough to haunt the reader for a long time. She gets turned into a damn ragdoll in that truck, and at the end of it all not only is her body graphically twisted, but her right arm is horrifically broken, which the author [[SarcasmMode graciously]] describes in great detail, mentioning how her arm has ''[[{{Squick}} broken bones nearly poking through the flesh]]''.

* [[AdultFear Bette's death]] arguably qualifies. She is [[TapOnTheHead hit over the head]] by Orc after she is caught using the power and, while the intent seemed to be to merely intimidate her, she dies of complications shortly afterwards.

* Drake finds Astrid by trailing an FBI agent home from daycare and forcing her to tell him Astrid's address by [[AdultFear torturing her six-year-old son in front of her]]. Once he has the information he needs, he kills the mother anyway, then murders the little boy. He killed the mother to keep her from calling the cops after he left, and [[DisproportionateRetribution the child because he kept calling Drake a "bad man."]]

* There's no specific moment, but the descriptions of anyone that the [[TheHypnotoad Gaiaphage]] [[MindRape Mind Rapes]] are pretty scary. A particular shout-out goes to Lana and her HeroicBSOD.

* Diana spends a considerable amount of the start of the book grappling with the reality that her infant daughter has been possessed by an alien that sees her as nothing more than a slave and that would happily kill her if she stopped being useful to it. She clearly wants to believe that there is something good in Gaia but the longer they spend together the clearer it is that Gaia is [[CompleteMonster totally irredeemable]] and will need to be killed.
