Nightmare Fuel / Perdido Street Station

• Mayor Rudgutter's audience with the Weaver.
• Magesta Barbile discovered by a product of her experimentation. The experiments themselves are also (literally) this to the citizens of New Crobuzon after a while.
• The descriptions of the Cacotopic Stain were terrifying for some readers.
• The Ambassador of Hell, a demon with two voices, one a carefully calm and level tone, echoed by a tortured voice screaming in agony.
  • Rudgutter suggests that the screaming voice is the Ambassador's true voice, with the calm, dignified one merely being an echo, rather than the other way around.
  • The fact that Hell refuses to lend its aid in the fight against the slake-moths— for the simple reason that the entirety of Hell is terrified of them.
• Remaking: Criminals in New Crobuzon can be "Remade", twisted by science and magic to be punished for their crimes. Like having their legs cut off and replaced with tank treads or having their heart replaced with an internal boiler. There is a passage in the story that talks about the Remakers having a "sick sense of art" about the punishments. See Squick.
• Lin's childhood.
• Mr. Motley's appearance
  • Also considering that the events of the novel happened because Motley wanted the slake moths because they make dreamshit, a powerful and very addictive drug. The whole story is really his mess.
• Going back and re-reading the scene of Isaac's dreamshit-induced visions, now that you know that every one of the experiences he re-lives is that of an actual person who'd had their minds eaten and digested by the slake-moths.
• The Construct Council's avatar is a deceased man who was plugged into the machine and is used as its puppet.
• The slake moths, abominations that suck your entire consciousness out through your throat. They're never clearly described, but are big, strong, and covered in claws, spines, etc. The worst thing is their wings, which project strange color patterns that hypnotize anyone who sees them. If you're hit by that, you are done; short of being rescued, there is absolutely nothing you can do except wait for them to destroy your mind. (And anyone who would rescue you had better have a very, very good plan for doing so, or the wings will get them too.) And they're being kept so that people can take their milk and use it as a hallucinogenic drug. And the said drug is the combined consciousness of all the people that have been "drunk" by the moths. They only get more terrifying the longer you think about it.
  • The worst part? The Slake Moths aren't technically evil as they are merely following their instincts to feed and reproduce.
• A bit of Fridge Horror, but one of the officials says that the slake moths are kept under control where they are from. If that is the case, it makes one wonder who feasts on the slake moths.
• However one feels about his deeds, the description of Yagharek's punishment in one of the last chapters is horrific. His wings weren't just cut off; they were sawn off.
• It says a lot about the novel's Nightmare Fuel quotient that the handlingers rate near the bottom of its roster of horrific elements.
