i have to ask this :
is fantasy genre over ?
is it all vampires now ?
cause if so, then it's not fantasy, it's christian theology (mostly) in the form of entertainment.

Urban Fantasy is still fantasy. It's different, but it's most definitely not Christian most of the time.

Urban Fantasy has a wider appeal than traditional fantasy. The novels are shorter, and written with a very different sort of flare. It's a much more multigenred text usually, and so it brings in fans from multiple places in ways that traditional swords and sorcery cant.

sam :
looks like the list is composed of vampire books only, and most of those deal with blond babes falling in love with mysterious vampires ...
make of this what you will

Sam said...

sam, i'm talking about the list patrick brings, i have no other lists.
and vampires and zombies are the main trend (remember that charlaine harris and the twilight books are not mentioned, but i'm pretty sure they are there).
