| Croak | comment |
A Young Adult Literature series by Gina Damico about a juvenile delinquent who gets sent to stay with her uncle in an effort to rehabilitate her. Unbeknownst to her parents, however, her uncle is actually a Grim Reaper and the town of Croak is actually a town housing and regulating their jobs. Lex goes on to make friends and enemies, Kill people, and stand at the center of the most chaos the Grimsphere has faced in centuries.For more of Damico's work, see Wax. | |

Fingore | |
| Croak / int_1e8f4221 | comment |
Fingore: The Wrong Book can only be read right by Grotton—specifically, when he waves his hand over it or holds it. Since he refuses to let them read it freely, Pip and Bang decide to cut off his finger and put it in a jar so they can hold it by the book whenever they need to read it. | |

Easy Amnesia | |
| Croak / int_55b1f9a1 | comment |
Easy Amnesia: The Grimsphere keeps up The Masquerade using this. A concoction distilled from spider venom wipes out a period of the victim's retrograde memory, which they then fill in with, shall we say, 'friendly suggestions'. | |

The Masquerade: While Grims don't leave their towns except for the yoctosecond-long journeys they need for their jobs, they do collect spider venom to make a serum called Amnesia, which they use to erase people's memories of their time in the Grim towns. | |

Self-Made Orphan | |
| Croak / int_780a078e | comment |
Self-Made Orphan: Driggs. His parents were incredibly abusive, and his father intended to kill him after Driggs fought back by breaking his nose, but he managed to grab the gun out of his father's hands and knock him down. He killed his mother first, one right between the eyes. And then his father, one in the head and four elsewhere on his body. | |

Fate Worse than Death: Damning, where a person's soul is sent to Fire and Brimstone Hell for an eternity of burning torture. Though, there's also a Fate Worse Than a Fate Worse Than Death, which is Annihilation, which is when a person's soul is sent to The Nothing After Death. | |
