The majority of Sigler's stories are told within the same universe, dubbed [[Siglerverse|The Siglerverse]]. The Siglerverse is based on the real world but has been impacted in various ways by the happenings in various novels and stories. Other groups of stories are told in different "universes" that may be common to the stories in their grouping, but separate from those in other 'verses.

The following universes have been identified. In order to be included, at least two separately-published stories must exist in the same universe, or the universe must have been explicitly named by Sigler.

=Sigler Universes=
The universes in this category are created by Scott Sigler, and contain stories primarily authored by him. The GFL novellas and the stories of The Crypt are co-written by Scott Sigler and various collaborators, but they exist within the universe created by Sigler.
==The Siglerverse==
The Siglerverse is the largest and longest-lived universe in Sigler's repertoire. The stories of the Siglerverse span from early 20th century (Kissyman Era) to the 39th century (Generations Era). The stories in this category all take place in the same chronological timeline, and the impacts of events from one story carry ramifications into stories set in the future.

===Kissyman Era===
The stories of the reformed Nazi SS officer [[Kissyman (character)|Kissyman]] are told in a series of stories that take place post-World War II, roughly from 1947 to 1950.
Originally an unconnected and separate universe, the 2017 release of ''[[Kissyman and the Succubus]]'' tied the Kissyman world to the world of ''[[Nocturnal]]'', firmly establishing Kissyman in the Siglerverse.
{{Kissyman Era}}

===Modern Era===
The stories of the ''Modern Era'' are told in a series of stories that take place from 2008 to 2017. Sigler sets the stories released in this era to be occurring during the year they are published.
{{Modern Era}}
===Crypt Era===
The stories of the ''Crypt Era'' take place approximately 500 years in the future. The stories in this era take place between 2553 and 2601, but the era spans from approximately 2520 to 2638.
{{Crypt Era}}
===GFL Era===
The stories of the ''GFL Era'' take place approximately 700 years in the future. The stories in this era take place between 2682 and 2689, but the era spans from approximately 2658 to 2691.
{{GFL Era}}
===Generations Era===
The stories of the ''Generations Era'' take place approximately 1,700 years in the future. The stores in this era take place between 3887 and 3888, but the era spans from approximately 2692 to 3888.
{{Generations Era}}
==Hunter Hunterson & Sons==
The ''[[Hunter Hunterson & Sons (series)|Hunter Hunterson & Sons]]'' stories all take place in a world separate and distinct from other Sigler properties. Although they are based in San Francisco, there is no overlap with the world of [[Marie's Children]].
{{Hunter Hunterson Stories}}
==Apocalypse Triptych==
The ''[[Apocalypse Triptych]]'' stories all take place in a world separate and distinct from other Sigler properties. Although they are named to indicate sequential days, the actual days of the events portrayed in the stories are separated by slightly more time.

In the Apocalypse Triptych, a group of hunters in the American Midwest are interrupted from their Deer Camp vacation by the sudden and abrupt invasion of hostile aliens.
{{Apocalypse Triptych Stories}}
==Medieval America==
The ''[[Medieval America]]'' (or ''[[Medieval America | New World]]'') stories take place in a world separate and distinct from other Sigler Properties. Although the stories take place on Earth, in and around the San Francisco area, set in a time approximately 1,000 years hence, there is no overlap with any [[Hunter Hunterson & Sons (series)|Hunter Hunterson & Sons]] or [[Marie’s Children]] stories and characters.

In the ''Medieval America'' stories, a young woman has trained as a deadly assassin, wielding sharpened glass shards as projectile weapons. She is able to throw them with unerring accuracy. Her masterful skills belie her personal insecurities, however, and she spends her time in hiding, reluctant to showcase her skills and abilities in deference to maintaining a low profile.
{{Medieval America Stories}}
==The Gods Have Gone==
''[[The Gods Have Gone]]'' stories are set sometime in the distant past, at a time when technology has not advanced beyond steel weapons. The characters live in primitive huts and small villages, subject to raiding from competing tribes.

Only one story, ''[[The Final Blow]]'', has been written in this universe.
=Collaborative Universes=
Sigler has also written stories that take place within a universe created by someone else.
==Tales of the Third Wave==
[[Mur Lafferty]] encouraged other authors to write stories set in her superhero universe, and Sigler stepped up to the challenge. His story, ''[[The Pink Torpedo]]'', is his only story in this oeuvre.
==Seventh Son==
[[JC Hutchins]]’ invited authors to write stories set in his ‘’Seventh Son’’ universe. ''[[Eusocial Networking]]'' was Sigler’s one and only entry into the writing space.
==V-Wars==
[http://www.jonathanmaberry.com/ Jonathan Maberry’s] wildly popular V-Wars anthology books are now in its fourth volume. The stories have expanded to comic books and a Netflix show, and Sigler provided two stories for volumes two and three of the anthologies.
{{V-Wars Stories}}

==Aliens==
It’s no secret that Sigler’s favorite science-fiction franchise is ''[[Aliens]]''. He became involved with an anthology for which he created ''Dangerous Prey'', a short story from the xenomorph’s point of view. This led to an opportunity to pen ''Aliens: Phalanx'', a complete canon novel for the same publisher, [[Titan Books]].
{{Aliens Stories}}
=Overlapping Universes=
''Overlapping Universes'' are characters from separate authors that have come together in a story. Although the stories may contain Sigler-canon content, it is not reasonably expected that the non-Sigler property’s continuity has been absorbed into Sigler’s, or vice-versa.
==Joe Ledger==
Sigler has one story that takes place in ''Overlapping Universes:'' ''[[Vacation]]'', in which characters from [[Nocturnal]] interact with characters from [http://www.jonathanmaberry.com/ Jonathan Maberry’s] popular ''Joe Ledger'' series.
