And Then John Was a Zombie: Grady gets bitten by the werewolf at the climax, and the ending reveals this has passed the curse onto him, although he and Wolf mutually don't mind each-other when he's in his wolf form.

Adoring the Pests: Subverted. Grady adopts a stray dog and names it Wolf, but, after some strange howls and disasters in the swamp, he wonders if Wolf is a werewolf. He isn't.

Ambiguous Situation: Late at night, Grady and Emily hear scraping sounds coming from their back door, and wonder what it could be. It's never revealed if those belonged to the werewolf, or Wolf who came sneaking into the house the next day.

Dies Wide Open: Grady goes out of the house at night and finds a rabbit corpse that had been torn apart with its small, black eyes wide open in terror. It also had one of its ears pulled off.

Change the Uncomfortable Subject
 The Werewolf of Fever Swamp / int_39ff7ffb
comment
Change the Uncomfortable Subject: Grady invites Will and Cassie over to his house for the first time, and the two instantly started an argument about werewolves. Getting tired of this, Grady suggests that they change the subject, and brings up how both his parents are scientists. This doesn't actually do much good, as they start asking more questions about it and how it involves the werewolf.

And I'm the Queen of Sheba: When meeting Grady for the first time, Cassie tells him that there's a werewolf in the swamp. Will replied sarcastically that he was going to flap his wings and fly to Mars. It turns out that he was actually saying that to deflect suspicion off of him, considering that he is the werewolf.

Lame Comeback: After tricking Grady into almost falling into a peat bog, Emily teasingly asks him to drink some and see how it tastes. He replied that he's not thirsty. Grady realizes that it wasn't too clever, but it was the best reply he could think of.

Actually Pretty Funny: Upon hearing the scratching sounds at night, Grady and Emily wonder what they could belong to. They at first guess that one of the deer escaped and is scratching at the door, causing them to burst out laughing at this absurd question despite how scared they are, and Emily jokes that it might want a glass of water.

Truth in Television: The factoids that Emily brings up about swamps throughout the book are pretty much true. For instance, she points out to Grady that the mud around them isn't quicksand, it's a peat bog, which is a pond that has peat moss growing in it.

Know Your Vines: Grady and Emily run into this problem, when they are unable to differentiate the different plants that brush against their legs whilst out on their first walk through the swamp. They come back to the swamp with red bumps on their knees and they start scratching.

Working-Class Werewolves: Grady suspects that the swamp hermit, a weird old guy who lives alone in a shack in the middle of the swamp, is the werewolf. Subverted, as it turns out that Grady's friend Will is actually the werewolf, although given that the house he says he lives in is revealed to have been empty for months, it's suggested he himself may live in the swamp.

Swamps Are Evil: Both in the usual method, and apparently literally; it's home to a werewolf and is apparently responsible for making visitors sick with a strange fever.
