    I can't get over horror fantasy and I wish there was more good stuff out there to read. Seems like a lot of it these days is all about sexy {insert fantasy species here} and all I want are some scary stories that will keep me up all night!

    I love urban, epic, modern humans in a fantasy world (The Keepers of the Hidden Ways by Joel Rosenberg is an unknown classic of this genre), recoil from steampunk and have never really run across horror.

    What are we calling stuff like GoT, King Killer, and Magnificent Bastards these days? Low-fantasy?

    • b4ssm4st3rDec 13, 2016 at 4:39 PM

      Do you mean gentlemen bastards? I usually think High fantasy is the traditional stuff with elves/dragons/heavy lore. Maybe grimdark?

      • ImAwheelDec 13, 2016 at 6:21 PM

        Gentleman Bastards, yes. Lol.

  • kirylinDec 13, 2016 at 4:39 PM

    I like high/epic, sword & sorcery, contemporary, steampunk (which I tend to classify as science fiction because of its base), and urban. No real preference among them.

    Science-fantasy, in all definitions of the term. I love me the muddled hybrid universes where anything can go, really.

      Have you read the Bas-Lag books by China Mieville? It is excellent fantasy that blends genre. Perdido Street Station is Fantasy mixed with gothic horror and a dash of dystopia. The Scar is more of that plus a heaping spoonful of Moby Dick. The third book is a fantasy Les Miserables meets western. Really interesting.

        His stuff is amazing!! Have you read any of his other books? Kraken is incredible (more urban fantasy) and Embassytown (sci-fi technically) messed me up good. I have his short story collection but I haven't started it yet.

      • mcmeekinDec 13, 2016 at 4:27 PM

        The only other one I have read was "this census-taker" which was interesting but not great. I am trying to get my book club to give one of his other books a shot though.

      • marchingjaybirdDec 13, 2016 at 4:30 PM

        I seem to be in the minority in liking Kraken but it's one of my favorite books. Really, though, Embassytown I cannot recommend highly enough. The worldbuilding alone makes it worth reading.

  • OculusWriterDec 13, 2016 at 10:19 AM

    The Dresden Files and The Iron Druid Chronicles are two series that inspired me to write urban fantasy! Love 'em both!

  • EowynDec 13, 2016 at 11:47 AM

    I love everything!
