9	!!This work has examples of:
10
11	%% * AllInTheEyes: Jonathon's pale unworldly eyes. Charlotte's never-seen eyes. Tuesday's [[BlackEyesOfEvil all-black eyes]]. Knife Mother's sewn-shut eyes. The Ju-Ju man's eyes.
12	%% * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Tuesday's Shackling.
13	%% * BlackHelicopter: Frequent mode of transport for Chain members...although something about the chopper is [[FridgeHorror a little off]].
14	* BodyHorror: all over the place. A crowning moment would be the poor [[{{mooks}} mook]] Jonathon Gravehouse utters unholy truths to: he is so horrified he tears his own skull apart via thumbs in his own eyesockets.
15	* BrownNote: Jonathon tells a man on the safehouse front desk ''something'' that causes him to pull his own skull apart. Also, looking into Charlotte's eyes is instant death.
16	%% * ConspiracyRedemption: there is this flavour to the Chain.
17	* CosmicHorrorStory: It's almost our world, save for the massive conspiracy upheld by monsters of every kind -from slashers to {{Eldritch Abomination}}s- to keep humanity in general safe, ignorant and complacent, until they ''use'' us for their needs and wants. Cattle herds have to be properly tended, you know.
18	%% * EldritchAbomination: Thomas Harp and Jonathon Gravehouse. What a name.
19	%% * EpiphanyTherapy: Tuesday's showdown with Harp.
20	%% * LetsSplitUpGang: in the safehouse, but hey, we're the terror in here.
21	%% * TheFaceless: Charlotte. Though it's only her eyes that we never see.
22	%% * HeroicBSOD: Tuesday, upon finding her [[GameFace true face]] has stuck.
23	%% * ImmuneToBullets: Cowboy 13.
24	%% * InitiationCeremony: the shackling of Creeping Tuesday.
25	* LovecraftianSuperpower:
26	** Both [[BigBad Thomas Harp]] and Jonathon Gravehouse are shells for [[EldritchAbomination titanic horrors]].
27	** Knife Mother's MookMaker abilities come from the thirteen stab wounds in her back. they've become cysts where embryos form, then fall off and grow rapidly from orange-sized to fully grown, clothed, sewn-shut eyes, knife-wielding identical killers.
28	%% * MadeOfIron: Cowboy 13 again. Fitting considering he's a [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]/[[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]]-type slasher.
29	%% * MookMaker: The Mother of Knives' specific power.
30	* MotiveDecay: Discussed by Charlotte. She started out killing the people who killed her. Then she started killing bad people. Then, she realized ''everyone'' is bad, in their own way...
31	* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Almost everyone. Jonathon ''Gravehouse'', Charlotte ''Hatred'', ''Creeping'' Tuesday, Harp's ''Bane'', ''[[UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper Jack]]''...
32	%% * NewMeat: Tuesday when she's drafted into the Chain.
33	%% * OneWingedAngel:
34	* PuttingTheBandBackTogether: Jonathon getting the crew back together is part of the opening act.
35	%% * ResignationsNotAccepted: the Chain.
36	%% * SerialKiller: Cowboy 13, as mentioned above.
37	%% * SmugSnake: Jack and Gravehouse.
38	%% * SpyFiction: Martini Flavoured.
39	%% * TheSpymaster: Jack.
40	* TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: Jonathon Gravehouse utters unholy truths to the mook on the front desk of the safehouse: he is so horrified he tears his own skull apart via thumbs in his eyesockets.
41	%% * VillainProtagonist: One word in the title is more true than the other, and it ain't the longer one.
42	%% * WhatHaveIBecome: Tuesday. [[spoiler:She gets over it.]]
