Added DiffLines:

* FairForItsDay: While Collier is a stereotypical CampGay, the fact that he's otherwise never portrayed in a negative light and is actually friends with a major character is rather progressive for a book written in the midst of the AIDS epidemic.

* NightmareFuel: Ramsey Campbell called ''Live Girls'' "the most nightmarish vampire story [he's] ever read" for a reason.
** Those mutant vamps. Their mutations can range from anything from tentacles to wings to fused legs. [[HorrorHunger And they're oh, so hungry]] ...
** Shideh. She hides behind a mask and is shrouded in mystery. The reason she's wearing that mask? [[NightmareFace Her face is horrific]], with a nose that resembles more of a snout. [[spoiler:Then there's what she does to Casey, holding her captive and raping her before turning her into a vampire.]]
** Davey's [[spoiler:AttemptedRape of Casey while he was trying to drink her period blood.]]
** Vincent is a perfect example of a terrifying mundane antagonist in a largely supernatural setting. He's a volatile junkie asshole prone to domestic violence over the pettiest of slights.
** The description of [[spoiler:Vernon Macy's death. It's the first time a vampire is shown being killed in the book, and it's ugly. He grotesquely decays within seconds after he's slain.]]

** Davey. He's a genuinely nice man who gets walked all over by those who are decidedly not as nice as him, is turned into a vampire, [[spoiler:and loses the one source of happiness in his life at the hands of the one who turned him.]]
** Casey, even more so than Davey. [[spoiler:She is dragged into Davey's problems, then is raped by a vampiric woman shortly after, is turned, and 18 years later, is forced to shoot some horrible porn scenes to break down her will before being killed.]]
