The following tropes appear in the series:
* AFateWorseThanDeath: What happens to [[spoiler: Heather]] as she becomes nothing more than a puppet to Tarsus.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Demons appear to be this in the Banningverse. They have no morality so to speak and possess no sense of honor or decency. They also desire nothing more than to inflict wanton mayhem.
* {{Antihero}}: Ethan is not a good person. He's not a ''bad'' one, usually, but he's got very few heroic impulses.
* {{Asexual}}: Heather appears to be one.
* CardCarryingVillain: The Voice makes no pretensions about being anything other than a force for death and destruction.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Not Ethan's passenger, which most certainly is, but Corey the Necromancer's abilities.
* DeadpanSnarker: Ethan is ''huge'' one.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: ''Undertow'' ends with the entire supporting cast killed and a possessed Heather on the loose with Ethan deciding it's not his problem.]]
* {{Expy}}: Tarsus is one for Cthulhu, though he's based on a real mythological figure.
* HeroicDog: Mutt certainly is.
* HeroesLoveDogs: While Ethan may not be much of one, he loves his dog Mutt.
* LampshadeHanging: Ethan looks up Tarsus and gets a bunch of Cthulhu pictures.
* NoodleIncident: Where Ethan almost had his organs harvested by a witch he consulted.
* OccultDetective: Played with as Ethan is more PI than occultist. His knowledge of the supernatural is ''extremely'' limited.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: Maggie's]] reaction to discovering Tarsus doesn't feel obligated to honor any deals he made.
* PerkyGoth: Corey is one (though he doesn't self-identify as a Goth--he just thinks the look is appropriate for an apprentice necromancer).
* VirginSacrifice: What's required to summon an ancient god.
* WhatAnIdiot: What Ethan thinks of someone who willingly attempts to summon a demon [[spoiler: or an elder god which might as well be a demon.]]
* WholePlotReference: Averted and {{Lampshaded}} as ''Undertow'' has some staggering similarities to the ''Shadow over Innsmouth'' but goes in a very different direction.
