* CompleteMonster: [[ArchnemesisDad Virgil Byrnes]], the father of the book's title character, is a monstrous abuser who constantly beat his [[DomesticAbuse wife]] and [[AbusiveParents child]], attempting to drown the former in the kitchen sink during the one night she fought back. When 3-year-old Sarah walked in, Virgil pressed his little daughter's face onto the top of a red-hot stovetop and held it there until she was disfigured forever. Virgil refuses to let Sarah have her face medically reconstructed, promises her he'll "burn the rest of her" should she ever tell anyone else what happened, and tries to make good on his promise at the end of the story while violently stabbing Sarah's high school friend. The only reason Virgil does what he does is simple; [[{{sadist}} it's his nature]].
