Nightmare Fuel / Frankelda's Book of Spooks

Go To

  • The Nightmare Face that Frankelda occasionally when she's really frustrated at Herneval. It shows that while she's a cheerful and bubbly spirit, she’s still a Spook herself (like the ones in her stories) and very dangerous.
  • Most of the Spooks are very predatory in nature- they get up close and personal to their victims, primarily children, and poke and prod them where it hurts the most in order to get what they want.
  • In the very first story "Give Me Your Name", a boy named Nemo tires of his life of responsibilities plaguing him, endless chores and homework with apparently no time to actually have any fun. A gnome approaches the boy and offers to do all of his chores in exchange for his name. Nemo accepts-and becomes a gnome himself, while the gnome takes Nemo’s place. Nemo has to watch this imposter live his life, and the only way he can escape being a gnome is to trick someone else into giving him their name and stealing their life. Doubles as a Tear Jerker.
