Darker and Edgier: While Chasing the Moon had its fair share of creep-factor by virtue of its Cosmic Horror influences, it played its darker elements for comedy. Here, we follow a poor soul who slowly descends into madness before becoming a warden so dedicated to his job, it may as well be a Fate Worse than Death. Not that he seems to mind, anyway.

Mundane Horror: The story portrays the protagonist's pizza delivery job as though he had joined a cult in a more typical Cosmic Horror Story; the act of delivering pizzas consumes his every thought, the smell of pizza is treated like a black spot on his soul, he forgets the names of his friends and loved ones, and eventually he's driven to killing an older pizza delivery man that delivers "special orders" out of jealousy.

Evil Smells Bad: The first indication that something is off about the protagonist's new job is that he perpetually smells like pizza. At first he has to shower as soon as he gets home and eventually the smell drives his girlfriend away. The delivery guy takes the sent of pizza clinging to her as a sign that if he doesn't break things off with her, he'll drag her down with him.
