* DugTooDeep: ''The Door in the Dragon's Throat'' features a deep, dangerous cave at the bottom of which lurks a [[BigDoor massive, ornate door]]. The protagonists are hired by a [[ArabOilSheikh stereotypical rich local]] with a bad case of GoldFever to find the key, which purports to open the way to untold treasure. [[spoiler:The Door actually holds back [[SealedEvilInACan a demonic force of untold power]] that is strongly implied to be [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Abaddon the Angel of the bottomless pit]] himself and his followers.]]
* {{Epigraph}}: In ''The Oath'', chapters occasionally open with quotes from [[FictionalDocument letters, diaries, news reports, and interviews]] to set the atmosphere for [[TownWithADarkSecret Hyde River]].
* NumberOfTheBeast: ''Nightmare Academy'' has a rather contrived situation near the end of the book in which a row of buildings is being demolished and one of the characters needs to stop it by putting in a code that corresponds to... some technical detail. Anyway, it ends up being 666 (or 666.0 if you want to be picky, and the computer did). Lampshaded by the kid stopping it when he figures it out.
