The series itself takes place in a fictional [[inner city]] area of [[London]] known as the Nightside. The Nightside experiences perpetual night ("it's always 3am"). The Nightside itself is contained within London, yet is significantly larger than London itself. Though access to the Nightside is hidden, it does experience a steady stream of [[tourist]]s from the "normal world".

===United Kingdom===
The series' protagonist John Taylor describes the Nightside as "a place where dreams come true and nightmares come alive. Where one can buy anything, often at the price of your soul... or someone else's. Where the music never stops and the fun never ends". Numerous seemingly impossible services or goods are available such as albums from alternative time-lines (e.g. a live [[Mama Cass]] concert from 2003), a business where customers pay to be possessed for a brief period of time "just for the kick of it," and a drug called Revert which causes users to temporarily devolve into a biological ancestor (e.g. a Neanderthal).

* ''Haunting the Nightside (Nightside Omnibus 2)'' (Solaris Books September 1, 2008), {{ISBN|1-84416-638-4}}: A collection of the third and fourth Nightside novels.
A recurring feature in the Nightside is the appearance of "timeslips", locations where the Nightside collides with another part of space and/or time, and sometimes with a completely separate, alternate timeline as well. A number of characters identified within the series are "refugees" displaced by timeslips. The appearance of timeslips is generally, though not always, unpredictable and unplanned.
* ''The Dark Heart of the Nightside'' (Solaris Books October 6, 2008), {{ISBN|1-84416-635-X}}: A collection of the fifth and sixth Nightside novels.

The Nightside is overseen by The Authorities, a committee whose members are largely unknown which makes rules, policy, and decisions concerning what is allowed to happen within the realm. The Authorities' decisions are enforced by their Agent (or "The Man"), who among other equipment and abilities is given The Voice, a way of issuing vocal commands which no human can refuse. At the beginning of the first book this position is held by Walker.

==Main characters in the series==

;John Taylor
The main character of the series, John possesses the ability to locate anything with a supernatural ability he refers to as his "private eye". This allows him several secondary abilities, such as disrupting magical forces and wards by finding and removing the lynch-pins that hold them together. He later learns to relocate certain objects, such as unloading enemy weapons at a distance, removing cavity fillings, or removing the air from someone's lungs. Taylor is the son of [[Lilith]], who first created the Nightside. This fact has made Taylor a primary target for many powerful forces e.g. the Harrowing, who wish to aid or kill Taylor depending on their opinion of his mother.

;Suzie Shooter
The Nightside's most dangerous [[bounty hunter]], named for her trademark [[pump-action shotgun]]. Known for bringing back her bounties dead because, as she always puts it, "it takes less paperwork". Later in the series, she reveals to John that her older brother [[rape]]d her and made her [[pregnant]] when she was a teenager, forcing her to have an [[abortion]]. After she murdered her brother, she disappeared into the Nightside. Later in the series she and Taylor become lovers. Introduced in the book as "Suzie Shooter, also known as Shotgun Suzie and ''Oh Christ it's her, RUN!!!''"

;Razor Eddie, Punk God of the Straight Razor
A former gang member who made a deal with someone or something he refuses to name on the Street of Gods and came out a God, Razor Eddie is now a [[vigilante]] for the good (and the Good don't get a say in it). He is known for prowling the streets and killing bad guys with his [[trademark]] [[straight razor]]. In later books, he apparently went to the Street of the Gods and became a deity - {NOT TRUE He is already a Deity in Book 1] and returned to the Street in a later book to, as he puts it, "Get an Upgrade", which allows him to use his straight razor to open portals between places and even dimensions. Razor Eddie is also mentioned in another of Green's series', Hawk and Fisher, as a well known [[street fighting|street fighter]], turned vigilante from the Street of the Gods. Eddie's pearl-handled straight razor is purportedly the only thing that can end his immortality and is on par or below power with the Walking Man when he has his razor.

;Henry Walker
The public face of the "Authorities". Was a good friend of John's father. Most of Taylor's cases in the Nightside are due to him. He is known for using 'The Voice', allegedly given to him by the Authorities, which forces people to do what he wants and can even bring the dead to life so they can answer his questions, although there are a few members of the Nightside that can defy or outright ignore his 'Voice'. After the death of the authorities no one knew who powered his voice but he did say that it was powered by the same voice that said "let there be light". Later he is seen on a quest with Eddie Drood from Secret History series.

;The Collector
Also a friend of John's father, the Collector is an obsessed collector of the rarest artifacts ever known to exist. He always lives in seclusion, away from the rest of the Nightside, and frequently changes the location of his lair. Less of a friend than an enemy to John, but still offering his help on a few occasions, some of which was invaluable to John, the Collector's personality is somewhat of an enigma. His key interest is more or less in adding to and protecting his private collection.

;Alex Morrisey
The current owner of Strangefellows, an irritable young man always dressed in black (only because there is no darker color). Taylor goes to him for information and meets clients at the bar. His sour behaviour has something to do with the fact that Merlin Satanspawn, his direct ancestor, put a [[curse]] on the bar so that he can only leave if another member of his family takes his place—and apparently he's the last of the Morrisey family. Has something of a grudging friendship with Taylor, as after Taylor was ambushed outside the bar, Alex granted him a special "back to bar" teleportation card, much to his later regret.

;Dead Boy
Once a young man who was brutally murdered outside a Nightside club, he came back as a [[zombie]] to avenge his own death. He is stuck in the Nightside, so in the meantime he does good deeds, often getting in the line of fire because he can't die; but then he can't heal, either, and so he is largely held together by staples and duct tape. He also owns a quite intelligent and armed car from the future.

;Merlin Satanspawn
The Merlin of Arthurian legend is buried underneath Alex's bar, Strangefellows, and sometimes appears in public by [[spirit possession|possessing]] Alex Morrisey, an act which Alex finds quite traumatic. Merlin has had his heart ripped out and wants John to find out where it is and get it back to him so he can regain his former strength and glory. Later in the series, it is revealed that it is Taylor himself who is responsible for Merlin losing his heart and death of his lover Nimue. Taylor knows the current whereabouts of Merlin's heart but is keeping it a secret, fearing what would happen to the world if Merlin regained his former power.
Merlin, even without his heart is so great, that during the Angel war, he could hold angels both from above and below in check, but is on par or below in power with Lilith if he has his heart.

;The Harrowing
A collection of faceless assassins that possess anaesthetic-filled hypodermic needles for fingers, the Harrowing have been attempting to kill John since he was a child. Unstoppable by normal means and nearly indestructible, Taylor has managed to either avoid them or escape from them when assisted by powerful forces. The Harrowing locate Taylor when he attempts to use his gift, which allows those who can detect his ability to home in on him. It's revealed that the Harrowing are actually Taylor's friends and former allies and clients, sent back in time from one potential future where Taylor is primarily responsible for the death of all life on Earth, with the intent of questioning and executing him.

;The Walking Man (Adrian Saint)
A man who supposedly made a deal with God, the real deal, the being who said "let there be light" and so there was light. As long as he walks the path of God then no weapon of the earth, or men could hurt him. But if he loses his faith for even a moment he will lose his powers and become only a man. He is one of the most powerful major players in the Nightside and is the only being who has come close to killing Razor Eddie.
