Been feeling in the mood for some old fashioned Urban Fantasy, back when the genre was just getting started. Never read any of these but they've always tinged my interest. Can anyone who's read them tell me if they're any good?

Tam Lin -- Pamela Dean

War for the Oaks--Emma Bull

Jack the Giant Killer--Charles de Lint

Elsewhere--Will Shetterly

(Making this post so I have these saved somewhere so I don't forget. Plus maybe other people will enjoy some 80s mostly female lead folklore flavored urban fantasy stuff)

A Little Literary Rant…

I am honestly surprised that the Bordertown (or Borderland) series edited by Terri Windling hasn’t gotten more attention. This is the series that practically kick started urban fantasy. It’s magic. It’s edgy. It’s prime real estate for any self-respecting film studio, and yet trying to find any one of the books without stumbling upon them by luck in a used book store, is bloody expensive! Like upwards of $100 expensive! How is it that Harry Potter and The Dresden Files continues to climb in popularity, and yet Bordertown/land is left in obscurity?

She was dancing like so many girls who think they’re ugly, like no one could possibly be watching her so she might as well dance as if she were all alone, as if she were dancing with the universe.
