✥ Urban Fantasy: Folktale, myth, fairy tale, dreams, urban legend-all of it adds up to pure magic. ✥ Popularized the genres of urban fantasy and mythic fiction which fall somewhere between classical fantasy literature and mainstream fiction with a magical realist twist. His distinctive style of fantasy draws upon both local North American as well as European folklore. His genre, that of contemporary fantasy, which combines the 'real' world with the "otherworld," allows the co-existence of the natural and the supernatural. De Lint draws upon not only North American Aboriginal culture, but also the folklore of other cultures. For example, his early novel, Moonheart, uses elements of both Native American and Welsh folklore. ~ Charles de Lint
