* AfterTheEnd: The struggle to survive after a nuclear war is explored in ''Brother in the Land''.
* AlienInvasion: ''The Thousand Eyes'' of Night'', ''World Eater'' and Hydra''.
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}/EldritchLocation: ''Room 13'' features a room whose sinister interior only appears in the dead of night.
* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Brother in the Land''.
* DemonicPossession: A legendary dragon returns via surreptitious possession of some kids building a life-size papermache model of it in ''Inside the Worm.''
* HatePlague: ''Inside the Worm'''s eponymous dragon, said by its medieval defeater to be an "Agent of Satan", incites those it possesses to acts of delinquency.
* HumansAreBastards: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in ''Brother in the Land''. In the struggle to survive in a nuked world, plenty of people turn readily to authoritarianism, brutality and murder, but plenty others strive for peaceful prosperity.
* HolyBurnsEvil: ''Inside the Worm'''s dragon was originally banished by the sheer faith of Saint Ceridwen.
* ImAHumanitarian: In ''Brother in the Land'', the wilderness of a nuked Britain is roamed by cannibals.
* KidHero: Somewhat [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]]. Young protagonists tend to be overwhelmed by their predicaments, but strive to make some good of them. In ''Abomination'', for example, Martha and Scott [[spoiler: reunite Martha's imprisoned illegitimate nephew with his mother]] via email and a phone call.
* {{Legend}}: The eponymous dragon in ''Inside the Worm'' reflects both the legend of the Lambton Worm and Literature/{{Beowulf}}.
* PlanetEater: In ''World Eater'', black holes are revealed to be interstellar predators which eat planets, stars, light and ''time''.
* OopNorth: His books often have a rural North West setting, and North East place names get a few mentions.

* YouClonedHitler: A bunch of latter-day Nazi sympathisers in ''Timesnatch'' hope to use Rye's Apparatus to transport Hitler to the present.
