Torture Tower doesn't sleep is a trilogy of horror light novels written by mothy (of Evillious Chronicles fame) and illustrated by Maruino. mothy began the series with a promotional music video made using the Vocaloid program to advertise the first book, Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep: The Three Daughter of Sir Torture which was later published on August 27, 2013. The last installment in the trilogy, Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep: The Ring of Evil, was released on April 14, 2014 and the story has received a couple manga adaptations.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In the impoverished town of Lion City there stands a tall tower on a lake, once the home of the war hero Hank Fieron who was infamous for brutally torturing prisoners there. After his death, the tower was rumored to hold the secret of immortality on the top floor. But three cute girls, who claim to be Hank Fieron's daughters, make it their mission to protect the tower from invaders: Gibbet, Rack, and Maiden. Despite appearances, all three of the girls are dangerous and sadistic killers. They sacrifice visitors to the evil "god" Beritoad so that he will one day be able to grant their wish. But the truth of their situation is actually more complicated than even they know. Meanwhile, a motley cast of individuals seek to stop their work, chief among them a boy named Raymond, who is a clown by day and a wraith hunter by night.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Although not part of the Evillious Chronicles as it takes place in a seemingly unique setting, the Torture Tower series features several references to its sister work and deals with similar themes of humanity, evil, and empathy. It is, however, a much darker series with far more frequent depictions of torture and murder, having a grimmer tone overall.Light Novels Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep: The Three Daughters of Sir Torture Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep: The Emerald Girl Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep: The Ring of EvilAdvertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Manga Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep -Clown Chapter- (an adaptation of the first light novel) Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep: Nightmare Dream (non-canon comedy manga)Misc "Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep" (the original song) Torture Tower Doesn't Sleep: Extra Chapter (a prequel short story) | |

| Torture Tower doesn't sleep / int_1ee0948e | comment |
Artificial Human: The titular Emerald Girl, Tsukomo, is an artificial magical being. She was created out of the corpse of Hargain's fourth wife's child, who supposedly died of disease. | |

| Torture Tower doesn't sleep / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: After Raymond storms the tower with his friends, Lloyd ends up dying, Raymond is injured, and they ultimately fail to stop the girls once and for all, so the tower will continue to prey on people. However, most of the cast survives the incident and are all resolved to continue the fight another day, while Beritoad was at least significantly weakened by being stepped on. | |

Amnesiac Hero | |
| Torture Tower doesn't sleep / int_41ba335a | comment |
Amnesiac Hero: Tusukomo—because of how she was created, she has a few simple things she won't forget (not to kill humans, and to kill wraiths) but her memory of everything else lasts about three days. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture | |
| Torture Tower doesn't sleep / int_424c9a9b | comment |
Cold-Blooded Torture: This is the three daughters' specialty, using a variety of real life torture devices and ones modified for the story. More specifically, Rack tends to torture the prisoners while Gibbet lures them in and Maiden kills them when they're too broken to suffer anymore. | |

Cast from Hit Points | |
| Torture Tower doesn't sleep / int_51567188 | comment |
Cast from Hit Points: Tsukumo's powers are like this in a sense, or rather this is the case for Hargain, a human who can do magic through unnatural means and who transmits his powers to Tsukumo. Doing this drains his life energy until he perishes during the final fight, and when Raymond is allowed to power her up through the same means he's cautioned of not overdoing it for the same reason (though he'll be at less risk for being half-wraith.) | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Torture Tower doesn't sleep / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Humans are suspicious and wary of wraiths, a humanoid species that can perform magic, as a result of the evil enacted by the wraith Beritoad before he was allegedly defeated. | |

The Reveal | |
| Torture Tower doesn't sleep / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: In the last chapter, the truth about the Pot of Basuzu, which is claimed to be able to heal any ailment, is revealed: it's just a pot of Beritoad's bath water, and can't heal anything. Similarly, Raymond realizes that Gibbbet may not be a wraith after all, because she bled and wraiths can't bleed. | |

Moe Anthropomorphism | |
| Torture Tower doesn't sleep / int_7f27c076 | comment |
Moe Anthropomorphism: This is ostensibly what the girls believe they are as torture devices that have come to life, with even their outfits vaguely themed around their corresponding torture device. This is played with since other characters like Raymond believe they are simply wraiths, and it's subverted in Gibbet's case, as she's really a human. | |

I Ate WHAT?!: Lloyd ends up finally drinking from the Pot of Basuzu near the end, hoping to cure his facial wounds. When he asks Gibbet if it will really work, she reveals to him what the liquid really is (to his disgust): Beritoad's bath water. | |
