Fantasy Urban
They call it Deadtown: the city’s quarantined section
for its inhuman and undead residents. Most humans stay far
from its borders — but Victory Vaughn, Boston’s only
professional demon slayer, isn’t exactly human... Vicky’s demanding job keeping the city safe from all manner
of monsters is one reason her relationship with workaholic
lawyer (and werewolf) Alexander Kane is in constant limbo.
Throw in a foolhardy zombie apprentice, a mysterious demon-
plagued client, and a suspicious research facility that’s
taken an unwelcome interest in her family, and Vicky’s love
life has as much of a pulse as Deadtown’s citizens. But now Vicky’s got bigger things to worry about. The
Hellion who murdered her father ten years ago has somehow
broken through Boston’s magical protections. The Hellion is
a ruthless force of destruction with a personal grudge
against Vicky, and she’s the only one who can stop the
demon before it destroys the city and everyone in it.

Re: Deadtown
Well, since I haven't been reading vampire books and such that long and yes it all started with Twilight, that would be the only other "World" I have visited. However like millions of others I am now wanting to read anything about vampires, wolves, etc. It's funny how 1 book can open your eyes to a whole other genre of books to read.

Well in some worlds, vampires don't drink blood from people but drink synthetic blood. They don't sleep in coffins, they sleep in freezers. Some glisten in the sun.

Vulnerabilities & which "kryptonite" kills which creature & how. I enjoy author interpretations of supposedly known 'facts'.

A great article and useful in many ways. Even if the paranormal world overflows into the world we know, it usually is a paradox and goes back where it belongs. I even like it when the world is actually just an older earth, many or few centuries back, as long as the story returns or changes the present by its appearance in the past, but better still another "world" completely, as paranormal as the beings themselves.

I guess a certain amount of "world"-building is needed in every novel. However, I can certainly see that fantasies and futuristics need a lot more. I am always amazed at how much imagination some authors have.

I love reading about the
mythology behind the characters
created.
