Wilson wrote two more popular fiction series. The first, a trilogy later published as a single volume, was ''[[Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy|Schrödinger's Cat]]''. The second, ''[[The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles]]'', appeared as three books. In between publishing the two trilogies Wilson released a stand-alone novel, ''[[Masks of the Illuminati]]'' (1981), which, due to the main character's ancestry, fits into the timeline of ''The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles'' and, while published earlier, may qualify as the fourth volume in that series.

''Schrödinger's Cat'' consists of three volumes: ''The Universe Next Door'', ''The Trick Top Hat'', and ''The Homing Pigeons''. Wilson set the three books in differing [[Parallel universe (fiction)|alternative universes]], in which the cast of characters remains almost the same aside from variations in names, careers and background stories. The books cover the fields of [[quantum mechanics]] and the [[Quantum mechanics, philosophy and controversy|varied philosophies and explanations]] that exist within the science. The single volume describes itself as a [[Magick (Aleister Crowley)|magical textbook]] and a type of [[initiation]]. The single-volume edition omits many entire pages and has many other omissions when compared with the original separate books.

''The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles'', composed of ''The Earth Will Shake'' (1982), ''The Widow's Son'' (1985), and ''Nature's God'' (1991), follows the timelines of several characters through different generations, time periods, and countries. The books cover a range of topics, including (but not limited to) the history, legacy, and rituals of the [[Illuminati]] and related groups.

''Masks of the Illuminati'' features historical characters in a fictionalized setting, and contains a blend of occult history. Intermixing [[Albert Einstein]], [[James Joyce]], [[Aleister Crowley]], [[Sigmund Freud]], [[Carl Jung]], [[Vladimir Ilyich Lenin]], and others, the book focuses on [[Pan (god)|Pan]] as well as other occult icons, ideas, and practices. It also includes homages, parodies and pastiches from both the lives and works of Crowley and Joyce.
