subject: The Fantasy Of The Urban World [print this page] Fantasy is the child of imaginationsFantasy is the child of imaginations. Even in this real world where practicality is regarded as supreme, fantasy is the daily trespasser. Deep within our thoughts where studies, career, family and world emotions scramble amongst each other, the heart builds a stumble picture of the utopian life. In a city where life is measured in seconds, these feelings fail to get life, but our brains refuse to throw them out. The urban life is a live show of chaos where everybody is in a race. While people readily play characters, authors are quick to pick the tone and put them to life. In this hide and seek game of life, the urban world still is held captive by the lure of fantasy. The place where this meets is a story that is best told. Presenting some of the bestsellers in the world of urban fantasy by the most popular authors.
Moon Called by Patricia Briggs
Mercy Thompson's life is not exactly normal. Her next-door neighbour is a werewolf. Her former boss is a gremlin. And she's fixing a VW bus for a vampire. But then, Mercy isn't exactly normal herself. Mercy is a new entry in the tough-chick, alternate universe, preternatural fantasy/thriller genre. In a world where vampires, the fae and werewolves co-exist with humans, Mercy straddles the line as one of the few remaining "walkers" from a Native American magical bloodline whose scions can shift at will into the shape of a coyote.
Storm Front by Jim Butcher
The novels of the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and non-stop fun. Storm Front is Jim Butcher's first novel and introduces his most famous and popular character-Harry Dresden, wizard for hire. For his first case, Harry is called in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with the blackest of magic. At first, the less-than-solvent Harry's eyes light up with dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage. Now, that black mage knows Harry's name. And things are about to get very interesting. A thoroughly thrilling and enjoyable read.
Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs
Patricia Briggs Blood Bound is the second of the Mercy Thompson series. Mechanic Mercy Thompson has friends in low places-and in dark ones. And now she owes one of them a favour. Since she can shape shift at will, she agrees to act as some extra muscle when her vampire friend Stefan goes to deliver a message to another of his kind. But this new vampire is hardly ordinary-and neither is the demon inside of him.
