Contemporary Urban Fantasy

Contemporary Urban Fantasy



Neil Gaiman is one of those authors who appears once in a blue moon. He, among Roald Dahl and many other children’s authors, has a profound sense of imagination that appeals to pretty much every child on earth. When I was young, I used to listen to a book on tape of “The Graveyard Book” on the long drive my family took to Vermont in December for Christmas break.

Another book I would listen to on that drive was “Bunnicula” by James Howe. An adorable mystery series about a vampire bunny who sucks the juice out of vegetables. It follows a dog and a cat who live in a family that has just adopted a new pet bunny. Over the course of the story, strange things begin happening and the dog and cat decide to investigate.
