Whether 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.

Industry Reviews

"Beagle proves that he is as good an editor as he is a writer, with this anthology of modern fantasy short fiction" -- Booklist "This is one of the best reprint anthologies of the year in terms of literary value, and you certainly get more than your money's worth of good fiction." -- Locus (November 1, 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 "[This book was] as thought provoking as it was enjoyable." -- All Things Urban Fantasy (August 2011) "A rich, full, experimental and long-lasting contribution to the ecology of Fantasy. It's perfectly arranged and intentionally diverse." -- New York Journal of Books (August 2011) "An excellent collection of stories that showcases the best of urban fantasy writing (however you define it). Definitely a must read!" -- Interzone (September 2011) "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 "An excellent collection of fantasy that showcases the best of urban fantasy (however you define it). Definitely a must read!" -- Interzone (October 15, 2011)
