This series focuses on characters and events in the northern areas of the Low Kingdoms, the same kingdom which encompasses the southern city of Haven (the setting of the Hawk and Fisher series). It largely deals with the events and aftermath of the Demon War, focusing on multiple characters and plot arcs. The series serves as a companion to the Hawk and Fisher series, Blue Moon Rising taking place before the first Hawk and Fisher novel, and Beyond the Blue Moon being a followup to both Blue Moon Rising and the Hawk and Fisher series as a whole.

The Ghostfinders of the Carnacki Institute are here to "Do Something" about ghosts, and live by the motto "We don't take any shit from the Hereafter". This series follows a team of three Ghostfinders: the leader, JC Chance, who was touched by something from Outside in a recent case and is still trying to determine what all that means; Melody Chambers, girl geek and computer expert; and "Happy" Jack Palmer, Class Eleven telepath and official gloomy bugger. They are joined by JC's ghost girlfriend, Kim. JC's motley crew is now considered an "A Team" at the Institute, and are slowly putting pieces together of a greater threat facing humanity. The Ghost Finders series was ended when the sixth book was released in August 2015.

The Ghostfinders series takes place in the same world as the Nightside, Secret Histories, and various other Simon R. Green novels, with frequent references to characters and places between them.

Hawk and Fisher are a husband and wife team on the City Guard, an order which functions rather like a modern police force in a fantasy world of mixed Medieval, Renaissance, and Industrial Revolution stylings. They live in the port city of Haven, a city-state so corrupt that they can justly make the claim of being the only guards who have never taken a bribe or looked the other direction. They deal with everything from pickpockets to wide-scale destructive magic.

A series of fantasy novels centering on the protagonist, John Taylor, and based in the "Nightside", a hidden area within London in which magic and advanced technology exist. This series also ties into the Hawk and Fisher series (i.e. mentioning the Street of the Gods, a prominent setting in the second and third novellas, Winner Take All and God Killer). Indeed, Hawk and Fisher appear drinking at Strangefellows Pub in the Nightside as an unnamed but clearly recognizable couple in A Hard Day's Knight, and the Deathstalker series is often referenced: Haceldama, Hadenmen, and the Darkvoid Device are all mentioned in passing. Razor Eddie, Punk God of the Straight Razor, is rumored to have gone to the Street of the Gods to make a deal with some unknown deity for all the evil he had done, and came back changed. The Nightside series was completed when the twelfth book was released in January 2012.

 * 10) Dr. DOA (US 7 July 2016)
 * 11) Moonbreaker (6 June 2017)
 * 12) Night Fall (12 June 2018)

This book series was supposed to be a trilogy, but due to the great popularity of the books Green decided to continue with the series, until finally ending it with Night Fall. Being all from the same universe, the Deathstalker series has had a member of the Deathstalker family in the Secret Histories novel. Along with this comes a meeting with John Taylor, a cameo appearance of Walker (both from the Nightside series), and an appearance of the Carnacki Institute's boss (from the Ghost Finders series).

Set in the Deathstalker universe. Mistworld tells the tale of the Empire's attack on the free planet of Mistworld, haven of outlaws and rebels, using Typhoid Mary.
