!!Tropes:
* {{Afterlife Antechamber}}: the Halfway House, with implications that it is one of many
* [[spoiler: {{Back from the Dead}}: Beatrice]]
* {{Celestial Bureaucracy}}: implied by Don about the dullahan
* {{Combo Platter Powers}}: Algernon's full title is God of Spring, Rebirth, Renewal and Ten-Pin Bowling. Another character is mentioned in passing as being God of Gates, Fences, Trespassing and Public Wi-Fi, which seems a sensible addition, but even the God of Death isn't immune, being officially the God of Death, Taxes and [[spoiler: Ceiling Fans]].
* {{Curiosity Killed the Cast}}: how many people are tricked into getting on the bus
* {{Deceased Parents are the Best}}: no character is mentioned to have parents and the reason for some of these is death
* {{Deus Ex Machina}}: played with, as the end game begins when the God of Coincidence arrives and all the disparate factions of the novel are united
* {{Disposing of a Body}}: Garfield eats them, Algernon removes the soul
* {{Divine Intervention}}: inverted; the gods don’t really care much for humanity and don’t want to be discovered or worshipped
* FireIceLightning: Maryanne vanishes in fire, Felicity vanishes in electricity … the third witch is an Ice Queen
