Obviously, Love & Sleep is related to the first novel in the sequence, Aegypt (1987). Crowley employs many of the same characters in both novels, and the author's intention to explore themes of time and memory remains unchanged.

Although clearly a fantasy novel, Little, Big (1981) investigates similar themes of time, memory, and secret histories.

Both novels are set in the city and country. Readers may also see thematic connections to Novelty (1989), Crowley's collection of short stories.
