What: Back in 1987, Emma Bull basically invented the urban fantasy subgenre with War for the Oaks. Because that's what happens when you put together Minneapolis, a phouka, rock concerts, faerie wars, and a guy named Hedge. Who's a bassist. Obviously.
Opening lines: "The University Bar was not, in the grand scheme of the city, close to the university. Nor was its clientele collegiate."
You might not like it if: You hate Minneapolis, are over phoukas, loathe rock concerts, and are scared of faeries.
How to get it: War for the Oaks is in print and also Kindle-able.
Connections to previous Wreckage: Emma Bull also wrote Territory (Rec. #10). It is not urban.
