Some spirits linger, bound by love and unfinished longing.

For nearly a century, Althea has drifted through Halloween Hollow—aching for the family she lost to Summerland, yet finding unexpected sparks with Maggie and Morgan.

In their touch, she remembers what it is to be alive… and in their hearts, she begins to believe she may finally find her way home.

Halloween Hollow by Aisling Storm — where the feminine channels power, the paranormal mingles with poly, and love is celestially eternal.

What is Urban Fantasy? Definition with Examples

Urban fantasy is a distinct type of fantasy that combines the magical and the contemporary. It is frequently situated in modern cities where paranormal phenomena coexist with normalcy. An intriguing universe where myths from antiquity and contemporary reality mix is created by combining magic, adventure, and the comfortable backdrop of metropolitan areas.

What is Urban Fantasy

Urban fantasy is fundamentally about fusing the fantastical with the everyday. Imagine exploring your city and learning that the coffee shop owner who serves you every morning is a werewolf, or that the police investigator who solves crimes has access to spells from antiquity. Urban fantasy creates a smooth transition between the actual world and the extraordinary, frequently incorporating mythology, folklore, and supernatural creatures into a contemporary context.

Key Characteristics of Urban Fantasy

Contemporary or near-contemporary urban settings: The setting of urban fantasy in contemporary or near-modern cities is one of its main features.

#FantasyIndiesMaytober May10th; Saturday Snippet! "Regret"

I use ‘Regret’ exactly three times (so far) in the current version of the Darkling manuscript.

All of them have... some spoilers. So I’ve had to pick the one that gives away the least.

Let’s just say that Telepathy isn’t Lizzy’s strongest skill...

Regret flavoured her thoughts, but she tried desperately to push it down. To keep her emotions calm, steady, even. Any little push or nudge could shatter his mind at this level, and as intricately connected as Lizzy was it could just as easily shatter hers. It's why she was still spinning. Why his mind slammed against hers. Why the screaming as he tried to expel her hurt. Get out. Get out. Get out. GET OUT! "I can't!" Lizzy snapped, and everything stilled.

why would i like obsessive relationships... it's not a judgement, but a question coming out of honest curiosity, as in what captivated you in them?

I think of obsessive relationships as the corner stone of Gothic Literature--the weird borderline between love and completely being consumed. I don't think they are healthy or ideal and it is not the way I'd want to live my real life (having experience a few relationships that border on eroticmania...) but it is an interesting trope of horror and romance...I think as a poetic device it can be quite beautiful.
