1!!TV Series
2* HilariousInHindsight: Snobby Derek Tricoli works for Goldman Sachs. Two years later, the firm's reputation would suffer due to the 2008 financial crisis.
3!!2020 Novel
4* NightmareFuel: It's a Jeremy Roberts Book, naturally it's gonna be full of them!
5** The chapters taking place within the cave is already claustrophobic enough, but it only gets worse with Brewer's vague descriptions of what's happening outside of the caves before he is dragged away and one of the Infected chase Lucy down through cramped spaces.
6** A lot of Oracle infectees act like they're the victims of DemonicPossession, most notably Marisol. She is constantly fighting the parasite's influence and is only able to be lucid while under a serious lack of dopemine.
7*** The moment everything goes to hell within The Exchange
8---->'''Marisol''': User Interace error four-point-six-two. Initiate Salvage sequence\
9 '''Lucy''': Steve, What the fuck does that mean?\
10 '''Steve''': I don't know. I wasn't in programming. It may not mean anything. So much was untested.\
11 '''Marisol''': Means used up. Means new me coming. Means old me erased. Means more of us on way. So many more. [[WhamLine Means we see you now. Means we see through you now.]] [[OhCrap Means you're next]]
12** Speaking of Demonic, One of the survivors Emmet encountered was briefly infected by Oracle and the visions he received from the other infectees was so horrifying that he thought it was a Demonic Invasion and [[EyeScream cut out his eyes to not see more of it]].
13** The rate that Oracle is evolving. It started off as a parasite controlling the rich kids before eventually it turned two girls into a breeding pit for more of the infectees. It rips itself out of Marisol when it is done using her as a way to propogate its species and it is able to infect Dani simply by biting her. By the end, when Steve calls for the Total Eradication of Turner Falls, you completely understand WHY!
14** While it was meant to scare [=IMTech=] into bombing Turner Falls, Steve's back up plan of blowing up the water pipeline is scary mostly by the idea of Oracle spreading to the waters. Just imagine what would've happened if Lucy and Brewer ''had'' blew up the pipeline and [=IMTech=] hadn't answered...
15* TearJerker: Par for the course of a story of teens fighting off infected killers
16** Lucy finding her parents in a catatonic state. All she can do is drag them away from the couch and lock their bodies behind their bedroom under the hopes that Lucy will find help for their condition.
17*** What's worse? Near the ending of the story, Oracle reveals to Lucy that the infected burned down the house, they only showed it to her just cause her suffering.
18** Bucket's Death. He suffers internal bleeding from his head but he is surrounded by the people who care for him as he dies.
