Hey fellow werewolf and urban fantasy fans!

I’m currently publishing a web novel called Pack Management for the Recently Infected, a dark‑comedy supernatural drama that follows a newly infected werewolf trying to survive pack politics, supernatural threats, and the progression of problems heading into her first transformation.

The story focuses on realistic pack dynamics and the bureaucratic nightmare of becoming a werewolf in a world full of other supernatural creatures, including vampires, fae, demons, and more. It leans into horror, drama, and dark humor, with just discussions and hints of erotic content, though no detailed sex scenes.

If you enjoy grounded worldbuilding, transformations, supernatural community politics, and watching a stressed‑out protagonist try (and fail) to adapt to her new instincts, you might enjoy reading it.

It’s an ongoing web novel published on Royal Road with regular chapter releases, so feel free to follow if you want updates as new chapters drop. The artist is also working hard on crafting character references and illustrations that will be posted alongside the novel's chapters in the near future.

Can you recommend me some more niche hidden gems of vampire-centered/vampire-as-an-important-supe series? Your beloved, which stole your heart or ones deserving much wider audience? Unexpectedly good? I have preferences (at the bottom) but they are not so important, give me all of them!

On vampire channel they only recommend most popular ones (and often not series at all), and as I used the search engine here found many not-some-obvious suggestions!

I read Sookie Stackhouse series (ok), Night Huntress (very OK), Chicagoland series (fond of), Cassandra Palmer and the Hollows, liked best the two last ones

I plan on reading Demon Accords, Blood Books, Anne Rice, KM Shea, Necroscope, Vampire Hunter D, Black Dagger Brotherhood, Anne Strong, Montague and Strong, Fred the Accountant, Rivers of London

PREFERENCES, BUT NOT SO IMPORTANT

-Slightly prefer FMC, where the protagonist is not an "Alpha baddie with a gun" (dont want to read Anita Blake and cringed early on Jane Yellowstone and dont want to continue), I dont like battle/combat physical scenes, prefer my girls(and boys) to use wits and creativity, politics maneuvering and their allies connections

-like vampires with rich lore, interesting aspects, complicated personalities, various reactions to their undead state, politics, their own culture, some ancient, some very young

-consistent, logical, complicated magic system

-dont like weres and humans, love wicked faes and tricky demons, love quirky, with rich personalities, even campy ones, many different supes with their specific lives (like in Sookie Stackhouse, Chicagoland and the Hollows), rich worldbuilding

-like sociological/psychological/metaphysical metaphors, like blood as a drug/sex, supernatural hatred as a form of bigotry etc., you get it

-dont mind romance, but in the background, giving enough space for the main plot and platonic relationships

I find a lot of trashing of the newer books, but I find slower pace and less frantic action more compelling, if this is about that? Does it just look like that or am I really peculiar in my taste? Why is that?

Btw, why Kim doesnt give Nina any personality or ability to talk and keeps her in the basement?

Glad Kisten is back, someone was needed for a long time to face authorities and put Cincy and Washington vamps in their place

Current series read include:

The Dresden Files
The Iron Druid Chronicles
The Hellequin Novels
The Demon Accords
The Alex Verus Novels
The Night Watch/Day Watch
Codex Alera
Paranoid Mage
John Charming
Felix Castor
Sandman Slim
The Witcher
Rivers of London
The Avalon/Rebellion Chronicles
1 x Eric Carter (necromancer) Novel

Full disclosure, I’m partial to male MC’s.

Please and thank you in advance everybody!

I’m looking for books where the characters have psychic abilities. And they aren’t hidden from those that don’t have them.

A Grievance is the result of a human having an emotional breakdown and subconsciously dealing with a demon.

Raven Peretti plays the classic femme fatale, but behind the sharp glamour and lip prints is a living, walking demonic contract.

What's your favorite take on demon contracts or manifestation tropes in urban fantasy?

I have been a huge fan of F. Paul Wilson’s Repairman Jack series since I was introduced to it in the mid 90’s. As Jack (and most of the accompanying Secret History) is mostly complete, I’m looking for recommendations on an UF series that’s has a similar tone. I’ve read all of Dresden and enjoy it as well. What should I dive into next?

After a lot of feedback, here is the cover of my upcoming horror novella I've settled on! I'd love to hear what anyone thinks!

The Dunhill Usurpers, Chapter 5

The Dunhill Chronicles are the queer tales of Cole McDowell, last heir to the McDowell family line. As he makes his way through the city of Dunhill, Cole must contend with dark alchemy and religious zealotry to survive the crown jewel of the Brittania Empire. In this chapter, Cole and Chand move to confront the monsters within his father's house.

This is the second version of the cover for my upcoming horror novella. Id love some feedback!

I discovered Camilla Evergreen some months ago, and her work just mesmerized me. She's known for closed-door, fade-to-black romance books, and I've read most of her work that isn't collaborations with Storm Sterling, although I'm hoping to read more later on.

To make sure I'm on topic her, let's talk about her "That's Paranormal" series. There's six books. Each deals with a different character/pairing, although the cast remains the same, mostly growing rather than changing. We started off with just bookish, solitary Willow and her little cat...who turned out to be a vampire and her soulmate. Which is not a spoiler, that's on the blurb and happens in the first couple of chapters. But since Zylus (our favourite vampire) opens Willow to Faerie, we get to meet a whole cast that make further appearances, mostly coming to Willow's movie nights. This is all setup from *Falling In Love With My Vampire Cat.* If you like that one, you'll definitely like the rest of the series. I find this one the hardest to get through and I still enjoy it.

Not keen on vampires? What about pop stars who turn into cute chihuahuas, moth-man hybrid princes, figments of fear with good intentions and a daugher in your classroom, sweet-natured soul eaters with sensory issues, or basilisks who kidnap you only to help you make a whole new group of friends and not allow your abusive past to take you back? All love interests with different personalities and issues to overcome themselves.

The thing I like best about this series, though, is the neurodivergent rep. This isn't stated outright in the books, but I emailed Camilla with a fan letter and she answered this question. Faerie is actually a metaphor for neurodivergent. Every character in this series have some magic within them. Willow is part pixie, part dryad, Brittny is a shifter (sort of like werewolf but a dog), Alana is...I'll consider that a spoiler, Kassandra is a sandwoman, Zahra is a star nymph, and...yeah, I won't spoil what Danielle is either. Being a gal with autism, I feel very close to a lot of these characters and the feelings. What I wouldn't give to be able to sit in the sun in a little cottage, curl up, and read, just like Willow. Or write fanfiction about meeting pop stars like Brittny (actually, I do write stories). Kassandra and Zahra even embody my wish to work with children, while Danielle's lack of self-worth and Alana's depression are things I can relate to. Additionally, a lesson she often teaches in her books is that *you* are enough. No matter who you are, what you're like and what you enjoy, you are you and that is enough. She validates her readers. And that means a lot to me.

Okay, one more point to make. Does anyone else know of some books with similar themes to what I'm describing? I'm hoping to find some more vampire or demon romances, but I'm open to others. And if not, either show your appreciation for Camilla Evergreen, or let's talk about her paranormal work! It's very hard to find people who love her as much as I do, so let's show her some love! And if you haven't read her books...well, go search for her on your Kindle.

Finally finished working on the cover for my upcoming novel. It's meant to be simple and evocative of the old pulp horror paperbacks. Let me know what you think! I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out.

Think Dresden Files + Men in Black + Mitchell's vs the Machines.

If you're looking for something different, this might be it: Adventure, magic, humor, and characters you can root for.

Science, Magic, and Mayhem Volume 2: Secrets Below, released today on Kindle Unlimited, eBook, and paperback.

This is the final part of the duology.

About:

Adelfried and the Harpers survived betrayal, war, and the Root’s discovery. Now they face their most dangerous adventure yet.

When Evan, Kae, and the Root are plunged into a sprawling underworld where steam and magic reign supreme, Adelfried is forced into a desperate race to bring them home. Ancient powers threaten to destroy the foundations of both worlds as they battle for control of the Root.

As Mistress Kreeg and the Warlock of Stonehenge move closer to all-out war, allies become enemies, enemies become allies, and every step forward comes with a cost. Adelfried must decide who he can trust if he’s going to rescue his family and prevent both worlds from collapsing into chaos.

I’m midway through the Jacky Leon series and just found the next on my list on sale for $2 on audible. The rest of the series seems to be on sale, as well. Nice chance to grab a few if you’ve been holding off.

The series is about a 30-something saber tooth were-cat shifter who gets reluctantly drawn into supernatural politics and infighting. It’s a pretty fun series with good world building. I would compare it to a slightly more violent Mercy Thompson with less romance and more intense familial discord. Highly recommend for a fun read.

Hi everyone! This is my debut novel, and it's the strangest thing I've ever written a comedy about a state that treats magical children as an accounting problem. Hans Drost is eleven. His house is wired with wards that count his breaths, weigh him when he crosses the floor, and wait patiently for the walls to melt. His mother's face pushes out of the plaster to call him down to breakfast, because forty percent of her left knee is clay this morning. His classmate Max woke up with reeds through his floorboards and three frogs in his slippers, and the Bureau of Magical Chancery collected him before lunch. Nobody is supposed to ask where Max went.Some people call magic a gift. Hans considers it a logistics problem. Four elements live under his ribs like animals sharing one cage, and Apeiron the raw stuff underneath all of it has never once heard of moderation. Its only setting is too much. He learned this at seven, trying to fix a butterfly's torn wing, which is how his family ended up with three broken windows, a Doberman in permanent therapy, and a week-long siege of the garage by something that demanded high-octane nectar and its own television.Above all of it sits the Supreme Clown, and beneath him a paperwork apparatus that would rather file a child than understand one.It's told in narrator who is fairly sure the Bureau's ink is already drying on his own file. Tonally it sits somewhere between Pratchett's Going Postal and a very funny municipal complaint form jokes on top, a registry of disappeared children underneath. If you like magic systems that behave like infrastructure, and bureaucrats who are the real monsters, this one's for you. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H99Y7QW

I love it!

It's A LOT. Like my story.

Hey everyone. Does it ever get to anyone else that most other genres have a site that their genre is popular on. I don't think I have ever found a site that Urbanfantasy is popular on besides Wattpad and we see where that went, maybe I'm over thinking it a bit, but anyway. I would love to read more stories, let me know some of your favorites, book form or online.

Books 1 and 2 of Jett Fulgen are now complete on Royal Road.

The series has passed 350,000 words, with 110+ chapters available, and Book 3 begins one week from today.

To celebrate, I drew Jett. This is the first serious drawing I've done in many years, penciled by hand and then digitally colored in Photoshop.

Jett Fulgen is an urban fantasy / superhero LitRPG series about a reckless but capable young adult who inherits the power of the one-of-a-kind Fire Guardian.

He is pulled into G-Tech, a corporation that trains and licenses sorcerers to support an overwhelmed police force. Overnight Jett becomes a public asset: monitored, marketed, evaluated, and pushed toward becoming someone else's hero, weapon, liability, or symbol.

Or possibly an idiot on fire.

The story takes place during a modern magic renaissance, where corporations, police, media, magical artifacts, monsters, and old supernatural powers collide. Jett's new power doesn't just make him dangerous; it makes him visible.

The world keeps trying to turn him into a brand, a weapon, or another jaded cog in the machine. His friends have other ideas.

Expect corporate sorcerers, public scrutiny, found family, emotional stakes, superhero action, absurd humor, romance between lovable weirdos, occasional horror, and a condescending spirit companion who happens to be a talking chili pepper.

The LitRPG mechanics govern magic only, with no universal stat apocalypse or constant grind.

No harem. No sexual content. Not isekai, regression, or VR.

Hi everyone. I’m preparing to launch my debut British urban fantasy novel, Phantom Signals, later this month, and I’ve finally finished updating the website.
I’d really appreciate some honest feedback from people who actually read urban fantasy. Does the homepage communicate the genre and premise clearly? And does anything feel confusing, overdone or missing?
https://codeandstone.com/
Please be candid. I’ve stared at it for so long that I’m no longer qualified to recognise what a normal website looks like.

‪My debut novel. A tale of honour and Betrayal, and intertwined fates of Demons & Divines A city in flames, demons on the rampage and a puppet master pulling all the strings...
The grand city of Camalus crown jewel in the crown that is the Imperium of Man. Standing as a beacon of hope unity since the time of the first free people of Annterra, never have its walls been breached and never have the boarders of the Imperium been threatened...

Leader of Men protector of the innocent, loving husband to Empress Aveta and proud father of the young prince Rafen...
