Urban fantasy

Urban fantasy takes magic out of castles and puts it on streets you already know. A wizard works a case in a modern city, a vampire holds down a job, and the police would rather not look too closely at what happens after dark. This collection gathers the books that define the genre: Harry Dresden, Rivers of London, the Night Watch, Mercy Thompson, Anita Blake, Kate Daniels, Monster Hunter and other series set in our world, only a little more dangerous.
