Abandoned Area: Played with. The water tower isn't well-guarded and just barely kept from falling into disrepair. The sequel reveals that whoever put it there wanted people to think it was this. | |

Daylight Horror: Since the story kicks off with Spike and Bubba wanting to go for a swim, the entire story is set during the day. | |

Green and Mean: The cover art uses green and black to make the water tower look even more alien than it already does. The tower's interior uses the same palette. | |

The Corruption: Bubba's fate at the end. It's implied the adults in Preston have gone through this as well. | |

Crop Circles: The circular design on the water tower as well as the book's aesthetic all allude to this. | |
