Marabou Stork Nightmares/YMMV

• Angst? What Angst?
• Complete Monster: Lexo and Roy.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Several times, but most notable in the gruesome scene where Roy takes his revenge on the family dog Winston (who once mauled him as a child). This is a book that will have you both crying and laughing.
  • "I lit a couple of fireworks where the touchpaper was exposed around the dog's head and, following the instructions for safety, stood well back. Winston unfortunately chose to disregard the instructions."
• Harsher in Hindsight: Something only revealed towards the very end makes Roy much less sympathetic.
• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Roy's death at the hands of his rape victim.
• Jerkass Woobie: Roy is the epitome of this trope.
• Moral Event Horizon: Roy and his gang cross it. They kidnap and repeatedly gang-rape a young woman, only because she rejected their advances (actually she had a secret crush on Roy all along). When she recovers and takes her rapists to court, the four "respectable young men" are found innocent by the judge and jury. She becomes a twisted Empty Shell after this horrible ordeal.
• Nausea Fuel
