Reviews"An excellent collection of fantasy that showcases the best of urban fantasy (however you define it). Definitely a must read!" -- Interzone (October 15, 2011), "An essential book not only for longtime followers of such intriguing stories, but those who thought fantasy only took place in the completely imagined worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien" --www.Bookgasm.com, "Every single story in this collection has been well chosen and polished brightly. . . . I highly recommend those with even a vague interest in urban fantasy to add The Urban Fantasy Anthology to their collection." -- Green Man Review, "As the genre is presented here, we see a rich, full, experimental and long-lasting contribution to the ecology of fantasy. It's perfectly arranged and intentionally diverse, and there are no duds here like there are in some other anthologies. If you're new to the genre, this is an ideal place to start, so you begin with the multitude of ideas that count here. If you're a fan of the genre, this is like a reacquaintance, a reminder that there's more to urban fantasy than the vast numbers of women on motorcycles who kill bad things." -- New York Journal of Books (August 2011) "An essential book not only for longtime followers of such intriguing stories but those who thought fantasy only took place in the completely imagined worlds of J. R. R. Tolkien." -- Bookgasm "An excellent collection of stories that showcases the best of urban fantasy (however you define it).

SynopsisWhether featuring tattooed demon hunters, angst-y vampires, supernatural gumshoes, or pixelated pixies, Urban Fantasy mashes up old-school tales with pop culture, creating iconic characters, diverging moralities, and complex settings. Urban fantasy is finally showcased in this star-studded collection, representing all three of its distinct styles, including the playful new mythologies of Charles de Lint, the sexy paranormal romances of Patricia Briggs, and the gritty urban noir of Neil Gaiman.
