Emma Bull writes fantasy and science fiction closely associated with the development of modern urban fantasy. War for the Oaks follows Minneapolis musician Eddi McCandry after she is recruited into a conflict between rival faerie courts, mixing rock-band life, city streets and dangerous folklore without separating the magical world from contemporary culture. Bone Dance moves into post-apocalyptic science fiction, following a trader in old media whose identity becomes central to a story involving possession and inherited power. Bull also contributed to the shared-world Borderland books, where elves, runaways and artists inhabit a city between human and faerie realms. Her writing is energetic, music-aware and character-led, with found communities often as important as the supernatural plot. Her work fits urban fantasy, mythic fiction and 1980s speculative fiction, especially for readers of Charles de Lint and Terri Windling's Bordertown circle. Read more Less
