!! Tropes found in Pugmire's works include:
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: All over the place. Many of the stories are set from a Sesquan point of view, in which humans are insignificant in the face of cosmic vastness and eldritch magick.
* CampbellCountry: Pugmire lives in Seattle and his Sesqua Valley is set near Washington's Mt. Si.
* CampGay: The author himself.
* CosmicHorrorStory: Though much more subdued and elegant than the usual.
* EldritchAbomination: Many references are made to familiar Lovecraftian monsters.
* EldritchLocation: Sesqua Valley is only visible to people with the right mindset and has a lot of mind-bending properties. There are also a lot of extradimensional and otherworldly pockets that characters stumble across, accidentally summon, or are driven mad by.

* FairFolk: The natives of Sesqua Valley have many similarities to traditional fairies, especially in their relationships with humans.
* HumanoidAbomination: Nyarlathotep is Pugmire's favorite character and is the subject of a whole book. There's also a recurring character named Selene, who is some sort of sister to Nyarlathotep, and appears as a woman with near-black skin and flowing red hair.
