28	----
29	!! Tropes common to the entire series include:
30	* BigBad: Lucia the Shadow's Consultant, a depraved being who seeks to wipe out all life and personally ruin Eliza Cortly's immortal existence for repeatedly thwarting her.
31	* CosmicHorrorStory: Part and parcel of the entire shared universe, with constant themes of cosmic irrelevance, [[EldritchAbomination strange, unknowable entities]] with [[YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm incomprehensible true forms and motives]], and horror not limited to [[EldritchLocation one world]]. While ''The City of Never'' strays more to a {{deconstruction}} by the end, the short stories tend to play it entirely straight.
32	* DownerEnding:
33	** ''The Red Monarch'' [[spoiler:ends with the protagonist [[DugTooDeep unearthing too much for his own good]] and being taken by the mutated animators of Vladik Cardinous, with the rest of the world heavily implied to follow.]]
34	** ''My Old Friend Gideon'' [[spoiler:ends with the protagonist presumably devoured by Gideon's "sister."]]
35	** ''Valentine'', at the least, provides a RayOfHopeEnding to offset the bleak conclusion: [[spoiler:Anita and Doug are fully taken by Helen and the Padre, and Helen is completely untouched and free to conduct her horrific festival again, but Henri at least gets out of dodge with intent to come back and finish the job.]]
