== [[Fan Works]] ==
* The ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' fanfic ''[[Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness]]'' has what can be described as a Kill'Em All ending, with some very nasty curses involved and some major [[Tear Jerker]]s.
** The sequel, ''Sluagh'', is worse. Depending on how you look at it, ''none'' of Our Heroes are left standing after the Battle of Druim Cett, and if half of those creatures aren't out of the author's imagination, there's some funky stuff in water of those Irish springs.
* Speaking of ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'', ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1240132/1/One_Step_Too_Far One Step Too Far]'' plays with this by having Rowling realize she just killed the last available character... in the middle of book 6.
* ''[[Aeon Natum Engel]]'': Six words: [[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies|Alma Wakes Up, Everyone Gets Eaten]].
* Happens in ''[[That Guy with the Glasses in Space]]''. Or at least until [[The Nostalgia Critic]] goes back in time and fixes everything.

== [[Literature]] ==
* The fourth, fifth and sixth ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' books each ended with an increasingly major character dying. Then along came [[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)|the seventh]], which was a "bloodbath of epic proportions." It was so bad that Muggle Net took bets on character deaths before it even came out. Who died? Dobby, Hedwig, Mad-Eye Moody, Tonks, Remus Lupin, Fred Weasley, Colin Creevy, Peter Pettigrew, Severus Snape, Crabbe, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lord Voldemort, and oh, yeah, [[Near-Death Experience|Harry Potter himself]] (sort of). Those were just the major characters. The complete list can be found [http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_deaths#Harry_Potter_and_the_Deathly_Hallows here].
* In [[Lloyd Alexander]]'s ''Westmark'' trilogy, any character with a name [[Anyone Can Die|had a fifty-fifty chance of making it out of book 3 alive]]. There were more deaths than in the previous two books combined - and the second book took place ''during a war''.
* ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|Mostly Harmless]]''. At the end, most of the main characters and all possible Earths are completely obliterated from all possible timelines. Permanently. (The only possible survivor is a character who stepped into a teleporter in a previous book and wasn't seen again.) And then, to make it even worse, the ''author'' [[Author Existence Failure|died]].
