Skulduggery Pleasant/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

The [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] starts from almost the first page.

----

** Special mention goes to {{spoiler|dead!Valkyrie, who is almost as creepy as Darquesse. 1) Dead people aren't supposed to be able to use Necromancy (which is a creepy discipline at the best of times). Not only can she use it, it's like the shadows are eager to do what she wants. She just thinks about stopping Nye from getting away and ''the shadows break his leg''. 2) She scares the crap out of ''Nye'' who borders on [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] himself. 3) The emotionless way Valkyrie says that she'll kill Nye if he doesn't fix her is kind of disconcerting. 4) This all happens while she has her heart and other organs shoved in a bag. 5) The fact that she's Darquesse suddenly becomes a lot more believable. 6) Hallucination!Skulduggery is both terrifying and depressing. 7) The way the shadows are described gives the impression that they're sentient. ''"The shadows played with Valkyrie's hair."''}} *shudder* Sweet dreams, people.

*** How about the surgery itself? The ''sounds'' described...

'''Hallucination Desmond:''' My Stephanie would. }}

* {{spoiler|Darquesse killing all those people.}}

** Ghastly talks to Tanith about his mother. The woman was [[Badass]] incarnate. She beat both Baron Vengeous and Serpine into retreat. Some of Mevolent's best men would see her and ''run.'' Her mistake was going against Lord Vile.

** And now we know why Skulduggery freaked out... [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|crap.]]

* The Reflection. Let's face it, it's creepy as hell.

** {{spoiler|The Reflection beating the crap out of Moore. And then saying that they should kill him and get Skulduggery to help hide the body.}}

* [[Voice of the Legion|Finbar being possessed by the Faceless Ones.]]

** Possibly made better (or even worse) by the fact that Finbar doesn't think it's that unusual.

* ''Everything'' about {{spoiler|Lord Vile's battle with Darquesse. [[Oh Crap|They're both evenly matched. Darquesse can heal. Lord Vile's armour makes him practically invincible.]] They're both incredibly powerful [[Omnicidal Maniac|Omnicidal Maniacs]] so it's looking pretty dim for humanity. Also? Easily the bloodiest, most disturbing battle in the entire series (which is saying a lot) is technically between Valkyrie and Skulduggery.}}

** {{spoiler|Darquesse lets Vile ''gouge out her eye'' for an ''experiment''. ''Deliberately making sure she feels the full pain of the experience''. And when she determines she knows what its like to have her eye gouged out, she ''shuts the pain off'' and grows it right back. [[Refuge in Audacity|While flying.]]}}
