My little sister Katie joins me for an informal discussion of her favorite subgenre, Urban Fantasy. This isn’t perhaps as scholarly as previous Zoomed Out episodes, just an off-the-cuff discussion with my sister. Sorry for the doggies’ panting that occasionally shows up in the background. The dogs love Katie and couldn’t stop snuggling up to her. (RIP Ender, who died not long after we recorded this.)
Some authors and titles mentioned in this discussion:
- Jim Butcher, The Dresden Files
- Patricia Briggs, Mercy Thompson Series
- Seanan McGuire, Sparrow Hill Road, InCryptid Series
- Ilona Andrews, Clean Sweep, Innkeeper Chronicles, Kate Daniels Series, The Edge Series, Hidden Legacy Series
- Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere, Ocean at the End of the Lane, Coraline, American Gods, The Graveyard Book, Good Omens
- Anne Bishop, Written in Red
- Faith Hunter, Skinwalker, Jane Yellowrock Series

I liked *Sparrow Hill Road* and its sequel. That excellent cover is what drew me in!
