* CompleteMonster: [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Jordan]], also known as Joseph Lethe, is a bigoted SerialKiller who refuses to see transgender people, [[AlienAmongUs who he is convinced are alien invaders]], as deserving of life. As the Bourbon Street Ripper, Jordan hunts down numerous transgender women and transvestites and tortures them to death. Becoming aware of Lucrece [=DuBois=] and her twin brother Benny, Jordan murders Benny in a failed attempt to kill Lucrece, proceeding to {{frame|Up}} Benny's lover Jared Poe for the murder. Jordan then continues his murder spree as a "copycat" killer before returning to murder Lucrece and the investigating detective.

* TrappedByMountainLions: Detective Gray's subplot has absolutely no bearing on the main one up until the very end, when Jordan (who somehow knows that Gray is gay) just up and decides to target Gray, who Jared starts following in order to find Jordan, which ended up not even being necessary due the psychic distress signal that Lucrece was able to send to Jared.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Only three police officers, two of whom are homosexuals themselves, are not gay-bashing bigots, but to really drive home how unfairly the law can treat LGBT people, the book has the District Attorney be a glorified Neo-Nazi and open supporter of David Duke. The later reveal that this character regularly cheats on his wife (despite his professed Christian values) with non-white hookers potentially pushes things into {{Narm}}.

** In-universe, it was established by a FallenAngel that there is no such thing as aliens, making Jordan's actions even more pointless than they already were, in the later ''Crow'' novel ''[[Literature/TheCrowHellbound Hellbound]].''

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: As noted on the main page under MaybeMagicMaybeMundane, the narrative sometimes gives the impression that Jordan is not just insane, but the victim of some kind of DemonicPossession.

* NarmCharm: A man killing trans people because he thinks that they are aliens due to his brain being fried by lightning when he was boy sounds kind of... stupid, but Creator/BillyMartin manages to pull it off and create an incredibly unsettling character in the form of The Bourbon Street Ripper.
