The Great God Pan/YMMV
- Evil Is Sexy
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: This story managed to given Stephen King some nights of nightmares.
- Unfortunate Implications: A single, independent woman is a monster using sex to destroy men. She must be killed! (By men.) Specifically, the story is blaming a woman's sexual behavior for the downfall of her male partners, even though they participated willingly. Female sexuality has long been portrayed as demonic or dangerous, going back to Lilith, the Sirens, Circe, witches accused of sleeping with Satan, and so forth. The idea of women in general being the downfall of men dates back to Eve.
- The Woobie: Poor Mary and Trevor.
