A Question For Our Readers About Urban Fantasy Authors

September 28, 2009 Genreville is looking to interview authors whose work fits in the "urban fantasy" subgenre. Note that by "urban fantasy" I include stories that aren't necessarily in an urban setting but have noir/hardboiled elements.

Who would you like to see us approach about an interview?

Since when does urban fantasy require "noir, hardboiled" elements? Some of us manage to write it just fine without them. :)

J. T. Glover commented:

Charlie Huston. He writes dark, gritty novels that I've usually seen characterized as noir or crime, but his Joe Pitt novels, centered on a vampire P.I., easily fit inside UF.

bill r commented:

For Contemporary UF with noir PI, with magic and creatures but without the all too trendy vampires, there's Laura Anne Gilman. NY NY is about as Urban as it gets.

Colleen Lindsay commented:

Kelly Gay, who is a debut author
Seanan McGuire, another debut author

And some of my faves:
Kat Richardson
Rachel Caine
Lilith Saintcrow (who also runs a great blog for writers)




September 29, 2009
In response to: A Question For Our Readers About Urban Fantasy Authors
Josh Jasper commented:

Diane- I mostly mention that because there's an increasing amount of fantasy set on in a semi-real-world setting that has noir elements, but isn't urban. I'd class that as doing the same thing as a lot of urban fantasy, just in a rural setting. It even gets marketed in the same way UF does, down to the cover artists. It's being marketed at UF fans, but isn't urban.

I'd like to include that, not exclude UF that really is urban but has no element of the classic noir/hardboiled novel.

Adam Lipkin commented:

Josh, are you only including the recently redefined version of the subgenre, or are you also including the traditional one? If you're covering both, I'd say that Diane herself should be interviewed. Others include Charles de Lint, Adam Stemple, Delia Sherman (especially in light of the upcoming new Bordertown book), and Ellen Kushner.

MARYELIZABETH HART commented:

Are you only interested in authors whose work is classified as "adult"? Because there are many YA authors whose works would fall into this genre, who are producing some interesting works. Not to mention folks like Lili Saintcrow, Rachel Vincent, Kim Harrison, Will Shetterly, etc. who are writing for both audiences...

ELLEN DATLOW commented:

How about some of the "classic" urban fantasy authors who started the trend, such as Charles de Lint, Emma Bull,Will Shetterly, and John Crowley.




September 29, 2009
In response to: A Question For Our Readers About Urban Fantasy Authors
Joe Sherry commented:

Cherie Priest, Emma Bull, Will Shetterly, Guy Gavriel Kay (Ysabel), Neil Gaiman, China Mieville (fantasy in a very urban environment, if not our world), Catherynne Valente, Carrie Vaughn.

I'd really like to see Emma Bull interviewed since War for the Oaks is probably the modern frontrunner of the movement (along with Borderlands, which she was also a part of)

How about Terri Windling, who was influential on its beginnings, especially with her Borderlands anthologies-- on her take of how "urban fantasy" started and its evolution.

Sarah Hoyt has published some very nice Urban Fantasy with elements that aren't standard Celtic or plain dark vampire.

I'll suggest Kelly McCullough, Rob Thurman, Ilona Andrews, CE Murphy and Kelly Armstrong.

Those are my current favs in terms of Urban Fantasy and I think each of them could use a little more exposure, more people need to be reading their stuff.

I agree with:
Jim Butcher and Harry Connolly

...any of you Butcher fans that haven't read Connolly's debut novel - run don't walk! I am not a scifi fan but the new Urban Fantasy genre has captured me...
