Carrion Comfort

Carrion Comfort is a fantasy/horror novel written by Dan Simmons.

Tropes used in Carrion Comfort include:

Evil Versus Evil: Whenever the vampires fight each other.
Fate Worse Than Death: The Pawns.
Human Chess: To the death.
I Love You Because I Can't Control You: Tony Harod with Maria Chen.
Infant Immortality: Subverted in the first 50 pages of the book. It Gets Worse.
Karma Houdini: Melanie Fuller
Kill'Em All: Well, not everyone, but close.
Mind Rape: Plenty of those. And in Tony Harod's case, literally.
Not So Different: The Oberst tries this on Saul. It doesn't work.
Psychic-Assisted Suicide: All. The. Time.
Redemption Equals Death: Tony Harod.
