The Great Divorce/YMMV


 * Nightmare Fuel - While on the bus to heaven, one of the ghosts the narrator converses with nervously reveals that there is talk in hell that when the sun finally sets, "they" will come out.
 * The ending of the conversation between Sarah and Frank Smith. It involves swallowing.
 * Tear Jerker - The possessive mother's pleas are heart-wrenching, even if we aren't meant side with her.
 * The Weird Al Effect - Lewis credits an American sci-fi story with inspiring the idea of impervious matter in heaven. (The original story apparently involved a time traveler who went back in time and found "raindrops that would pierce like bullets and sandwiches no strength could bite," because nothing can change the past.) Unfortunately, he couldn't recall the name of the story or its author. Neither can anyone else.
 * Wangst - Common in Hell.
