* In the climax of chapter 18, it is revealed that Sette is an ''EldritchAbomination'' molded into the form of a little girl - one who can brainwash people at will, especially Duane. [[GoMadFromTheRevelation She breaks down entirely at the revelation]], and lashes out at Duane - until she accidentally stabs his soul in a fit of rage.

* Crescian "Peaceguard" slaughter the Crescian town of Ethelmik, covering it up as a Kaiju attack by the First Silver, on grounds that the town was a syndicate-infested den, but are intentionally killing everyone in sight. We get to see newly-christened orphans crying on the street and various individuals from the previous three chapters invaded and murdered in cold blood by the very military force that was supposed to protect them. Because of Crescian policies that control the media and a blatant separation of military and state, they can do this to ANY little town, anywhere, and get away with it.

* Anadyne merging with the Silver is BodyHorror in the extreme from the get go. Eventually all that is left of her body anchoring her tortured soul to the physical plane is her still beating heart, pierced through and threaded with thorny vines made of silver attaching it to a giant avian skeleton that drags Anadyne's screaming helpless tethered soul along with it as Delicieu mocks her and reveals his plan to use what's left of her to "return oblivion" to mankind.

* Any child conceived within Alderode's dammakhert, no matter ''where'' the parents are originally from, is altered in the womb to be one of the Aldish castes. Alderode naturally takes this to a horrific extreme; whenever they conquer new territory they establish a khert hub and have the invading soldiers gangrape all the local women and girls to get them pregnant as soon as possible, kill any man who tries to protest or protect their loved ones, take the babies away as soon as they're born to place with families in Alderode, and repeat.

* The Red Berry Boys kidnap people to cut them open and replace their insides with some kind of smuggled goods. They prefer children, because you get the same money for a smaller body, and the girls have yet to develop breasts that get in the way of the dissection. Duane's discovery of a dying little girl is probably the most disturbing scene in the comic to date.
* Ever wonder why plods are always muzzled? Zombies are constantly, insatiably hungry: even reasonable ones like Duane go half-mad when exposed to blood.
* Starfish's ''serene'' look as he's about to [[spoiler: bash Ephsephin's head in with a wine bottle]] is just unsettling on so many levels. Really, Starfish himself is just abominable.
* Sette goes into the room which she tricked Turas into entering, assuming Duane had tied him up or something.

Also, Duane's face manages to reach UncannyValley levels due to his eyes. There's just something wrong about eyes that look so human, peering out from a face that's so ghoulish and wasted]].
* It's not that scary after initial exposure, but [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch07/ch07_34.html this page]] can make for one heck of a JumpScare when reading for the first time. ''It stares into your soul''.
* A sight that Duane has to pass by every day on the way to work: [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch07/ch07_64.html all part and parcel of living in Alderode, it would seem.]]
** [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch08/ch08_39.html That isn't even the half of it.]]
* Mixed with NauseaFuel: [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch08/ch08_39.html That hand.]] Duane's ''entire body'' was like that for years, and according to WordOfGod, he could ''[[FateWorseThanDeath feel it]]''. A few pages later in the flashback, his HorrorHunger is bad enough to [[{{Autocannibalism}} eat the rotting mess]].
* What it was like for Duane [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch08/ch08_40.html when he 'woke up', so to speak:]] blind, constantly suffocating, choking on his own blood, and gradually beginning to crave the flesh of his beloved brother and wife.
* The vivid description of Quigley's attempted suicide in ''Orphans'':
-->The end of his dagger was dipped into one of the candles, the flame greeting the steel with a gentle caress. He stripped his vocal cords so he couldn't scream. Then, when the blade began to glow, he pressed it hard across his marriage brand.\\
Hot like her lips, like her forge in creation and in death, hot like the municipal office burning, like the woods burning in the night. So many fires, was it fair they always stopped just short of him? He swirled the dagger as his flesh split, vivisecting the insect (would Brother Hugh like to see?), pushing the blade deep until he smelled his own grease hissing.\\
Press a little harder. Cut a little hole and let himself pour out of it, tipped like spoiled wine into the thirsty khert's mouth. Wasn't his heart hammering for it? Here it beat just below the steel, trying to excavate outward, stifled in the darkness by a cave-in. Let it out, let it out, let the khert fucking have it!
** Comes with an addition of TearJerker, too, as he's destroying his marriage brand in the process.
* Come Chapter 10, and Stockyard's plots concerning the Silver [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch10/ch10_80.html start going very wrong.]]
* The ''[[EldritchAbomination thing]]'' that eventually emerges from the covered caravan where the silver and its hosts were held. [[spoiler: An immense smoke eel with ten eyes, made of metal and the warped flesh of the hosts. Its teeth are hands, reaching out. Its eyes are mouths, open and still moaning in agony.]]
