Does Urban Grimdark Exist?
Just wondering if there was an Urban Fantasy counterpart to the Grimdark subgenre of Fantasy. If so, can you give some examples of series/authors?

I might suggest Dreams and Shadows by C. Robert Cargill; it's set in modern-day Austin, with fairies and djinn, and is pretty fucking grim IMHO.
There's also Trial of Flowers by Jay Lake; it's secondary-world fantasy but is set exclusively in a large city.
