Contemporary Urban Fantasy and Gaiman
I've seen a lot of bits and piece of Gaiman's work, most fully Coraline which I love. The concept of a urban fantasy in contemporary time is interesting. There is something new and fun about add fantasy to a urban setting. I really enjoyed reading the start of the Graveyard books. Gaiman does a great job of making his stories Contemporary while also being timeless. Coraline is modern but you could never tell 100% what year it is, This makes the story seem timeless. The Graveyard books seem similar, it's obviously not olden times, but it's seems like it takes place in a contemporary setting. I think this concept works well with fantasy and Gaiman is good at this. Using fantasy and myth ideas and using them to built on a contemporary setting in a cool and new way.
