The Gathering/YMMV


These things about The Gathering are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • Jerkass Woobie - Danny turns out to be this, anger aside he's actually pretty harmless if he likes you. Seems that his current cynical and angry attitude is a reaction against the police brutality he experienced when he was younger: the event that set him off on his current path.
  • Paranoia Fuel - The whole damn town has this effect on people. Nathaniel at one point wonders if he's "beginning to see something dark and terrible in everything", and when in the end even his mother is sucked into the darkness ruling Cheshunt...
    • The whole possibility that evil, actual unadulererated evil exists to call upon the darkness within us is pretty creepy. Nathaniel's sudden burst of joy at all the things he imagines could be true if their magic is true turns to fear when he realsies that what is true for good magic is also true for bad.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel - The ending scene in the abbatoir with pretty much the whole school ready to tear the protagonists to shreds.
    • Also the Tod's death.
  • Tear Jerker. The group hug after the Chain saves Seth from his attempted suicide.
