* ElixirOfLife: In "Literature/TheBirthMark", a ShortStory by Creator/NathanielHawthorne, Aylmer admits that such a potion would be possible, although he believes that it would be an imbalance in nature for it to be used.
* {{Epigraph}}: "Literature/ADescentIntoTheMaelstrom", by Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, is prefaced by a short quote from Creator/JosephGlanville, describing how [[InMysteriousWays ineffable God and Nature]] are.
--> "The ways of God in Nature, as in Providence, are not as our ways; nor are the models that we frame any way commensurate to the vastness, profundity, and unsearchableness of His works, which have a depth in them greater than the well of Democritus." '''Creator/JosephGlanville'''
* FacialMarkings: In "Literature/TheBirthMark", a ShortStory by Creator/NathanielHawthorne, Georgia has had a tiny red handprint on her cheek [[DistinguishingMark since birth]]. Familiarity has bred contempt, and the characters attempt to remove it.
* FramingDevice: "Literature/ADescentIntoTheMaelstrom", a ShortStory by Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, the [[NamelessNarrative unnamed narrator]] is listening to his guide, a survivor of the Norwegian [[MegaMaelstrom Moskoe-ström]].
* HollywoodAcid: In "Literature/TheBirthMark", a ShortStory by Creator/NathanielHawthorne, Aylmer creates a drug whose use can kill after seconds or years, and can be used as a cosmetic; washing away freckles or blushes.
* JustSoStory: "{{Literature/Daedalus}}", by Creator/ThomasBulfinch, explains that the Partridge was created when [[Myth/ClassicalMythology the goddess Minerva]] transformed Perdix into a bird, to save him from his jealous uncle Daedalus.
* MegaMaelstrom: In "Literature/ADescentIntoTheMaelstrom", a ShortStory by Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, the title refers to the Moskoe-ström, named by the local Norwegians. It sits still for perhaps fifteen minutes, when the tide changes. The rest of the time, it's a dangerous whirlpool which can be heard from leagues away, and local storms make the maelstrom worse.
* NamelessNarrative: In "Literature/ADescentIntoTheMaelstrom", a ShortStory by Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, the characters are never given names. Islands, mountains, cities, and the [[MegaMaelstrom Moskoe-ström]] are named, but only adjectives are used for human characters. This effect draws the reader to focus on the Man versus Nature {{Conflict}} in the story.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: In "Literature/TheBirthMark", a ShortStory by Creator/NathanielHawthorne, Aylmer is supposedly highly proficient in every branch of science. The story itself bears witness to him being a highly capable [[ChemistryCanDoAnything alchemist]], creating a tonic that removes the [[DistinguishingMark birthmark]] from his wife.

* PenName: "{{Literature/Tobermory}}" is credited to Creator/HHMunro, who is better known by his pseudonym {{Creator/Saki}}.
* PragmaticAdaptation: "{{Literature/Daedalus}}", by Creator/ThomasBulfinch, is a ShortStory version of Myth/ClassicalMythology, focused on the life of Daedalus.
* TalkingAnimal: The eponymous housecat of "{{Literature/Tobermory}}" is capable of [[CatsAreSnarkers snarking]], sorry; ''speaking'' in English. HilarityEnsues when it turns out Tobermory has [[BrutalHonesty no concept of tact]].
* YearX: "Literature/ADescentIntoTheMaelstrom", a ShortStory by Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, takes place a three years after the tenth of July, 18-.
