Overview of Genre
What is Urban Fantasy? Fantasy is fantasy that features either magical creatures (shapeshifters, vampires, elves, fairies and such) or magical elements (witchcraft, sorcerers, ghosts) and takes place in contemporary settings, usually modern day inner cities.
Urban Fantasy is a subset of the traditional Fantasy genre. It began splintering off into its own Genre in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
