13	[[index]]
14	* AdaptationalVillainy: Several examples across all three books, listed by what book each character is introduced in.

16	** ETMG: Jonathan Harker, Arthur Holmwood, and Quincy Morris.
17	** SMMG: Margaret Trelawny.
18	* AdaptationalHeroism: Carmilla Karnstein and Count Dracula both have somewhat checkered pasts but are generally FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires
19	* FictionalDocument: Catherine has two series of novels, her Astarte books, and the ones about the Athena Club.
20	* ForegoneConclusion: Any character who writes a note in the book survives the events of the story, as they wouldn't be around to leave the note if they didn't.
21	* FramingDevice: The stories are being told as Catherine's latest novels, with the other characters writing notes either criticising her work or commenting on events.
22	* GreekChorus: Thanks to the FramingDevice of the story, the Athena Club function as a version of this, writing notes on Catherine's manuscript commenting on the events of the story.
23	* MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: The Athena Club is exclusively made up of examples of this trope.
24	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Not only are the members of the Athena Club connected to [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde four]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rappaccini%27s_Daughter works]] of [[Literature/TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau Victorian]] [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Literature]], but they also recruit the help of Franchise/SherlockHolmes and interact with characters from ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'', ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'', Literature/TheJewelOfSevenStars, Literature/TheGreatGodPan and [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray Dorian Gray]]. Passing references are made to the past in-Verse existence of [[Creator/OscarWilde Sebastian Melmoth]] and [[Literature/TheVampyre Lord Ruthven]].
25	* MasterOfUnlocking: Diana is a skilled lock pick and is called upon multiple times to get passed locked doors, and she never fails even once.
26	* RunningGag: Others of the household - usually Diana or Catherine - keep losing, destroying, or being forced to abandon clothes, footwear, and ''especially'' handkerchiefs. Mary almost invariably berates them for this waste of resources, whether verbally, mentally in the narration, or belatedly in the GreekChorus.
27	* {{Spoiler}}: Catherine has to remind her housemates to quit dropping hints about later plot developments in their GreekChorus commentary.
