• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Plenty throughout the novels.
  • Any time the effects of Pip's venom are described in detail. Eye Scream only begins to cover it.
  • There's a particularly memorable scene in Bloodhype when Dominic Rose crushes some exotic birds in a cage, not to mention the description of the effects of the drug itself.
  • Conda Challis' nasty little perversions in Orphan Star -- although this is given something of a Gory Discretion Shot by only describing Flinx's reaction to (and Challis' pleasure from) them.
  • The planet of Midworld could be considered Nightmare Fuel incarnate given the enormously varied and nasty ways the plant life has to kill people. At times it approaches High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
  • There's a scene in Trouble Magnet when a part of the Street Urchin gang are tortured by having thousands of sharp pointy metal objects pinned to them via magnets.
• The Woobie: Flinx's alienation from the rest of humanity is played for all the Wangst that it's worth and then some, especially in the later novels. At times he crosses into Sympathetic Sue territory.
