Crapsack World: Both Earth and the Moon can be seen as such. Dark Angel is set in the crapsack world of the US Pacific Northwest after an EMP takes out a lot of the infrastructure for the USA (and presumably elsewhere). This trope also relates to the past; the Puritans hanged 11-year-old Agatha Prenderghast for the same reason, and her ghost turns them into zombies and forces them to suffer from the hands of the townsfolk .
