on-existent before the late 1980s, in recent years urban fantasy / paranormal romance has become the prevailing form of the monstrous Gothic in popular culture. In little more than two decades, urban fantasy has evolved from striking new genre innovations, coming to constitute a set of nowfamiliar genre conventions. Yet while urban fantasy has risen meteorically in popularity, especially in the last decade, it remains surprisingly understudied as a coherent genre. McLennon in the article Defining Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance: Crossing Boundaries of Genre, Media, Self and Other in New Supernatural Worlds provides a clear definition and history of urban fantasy / paranormal romance as a genre. She argues that this genre is both formally and thematically concerned with destabilising new Gothic boundaries—boundaries of genre, of media, of self and Other. Finally, McLennon suggests that these formal and thematic challenges to boundaries offer one explanation for this genre’s broad popularity. The article thus seeks to provide a platform from which we can better analyse and understand both this genre as a whole, and its individual texts, across a variety of media.

This article analyses the nature of urban fantasy by aggregating the claims, suggestions, and observations made by several different accounts of what urban fantasy is. These accounts comprise six scholarly sources and four sources written by people who are producers and purveyors of urban fantasy. An eleventh “account” is made up of the impressions conveyed by a vast number of book covers identified through Google Image Search. These eleven accounts are analysed with regard to their views on worlds and settings, cities and urbanity, central characters, and the sources of fantastic elements. Finally, the article presents how three major threads in the accounts reveal that urban fantasy has a central, thematic concern with the Unseen. This Unseen is largely related to a social Other that portrays unpleasant aspects of urban life, such as criminality, homelessness, addiction, prostitution, and physical and sexual abuse.

The urban fantasy genre is currently receiving increasing attention from audiences and researchers. One of the factors contributing to this is the growing reception of fantasy per se. This is also due to the recent phenomenon of paranormal romance, from which – to some extent – urban fantasy is growing and emulating. The combination of fantasy, detective and romance plots and the emphasis on urbanity allows the use of a variety of pop culture tropes and motifs. In this article, I point to these several reasons for the growing popularity of urban fantasy

Urban fantasy is attracting more attention from readers, but scientific papers about it still do not appear often enough. The aim of the present article is to specify where urban fantasy originates from, what its constitutive features are, and how this subgenre is changing the way the city is described. Genre similarities with crime fiction, a change in the city paradigm, and the influence of urban legends on urban fantasy are indicated. Moreover, the relationship between the heyday of urban fantasy and the spatial turn is outlined.

Fantastyka miejska cieszy się coraz większym zainteresowaniem czytelników, pozostając jednocześnie na marginesie badań naukowych. Artykuł miał na celu skonkretyzowanie, z czego wywodzi się fantastyka miejska oraz jakie są jej cechy konstytutywne, a także jak ten podgatunek wpływa na zmianę opisywania miasta. Wskazano na zbieżności gatunkowe z kryminałem, zmianę paradygmatu miasta, wpływ legend miejskich na urban fantasy. Nakreślono związek rozkwitu fantastyki miejskiej z obserwowanym od kilku dekad zwrotem przestrzennym.
