Brett reviewed Our Lady of Darkness by Fritz Leiber
A foundation of urban fantasy
4 stars
Fritz Leiber has as good a claim as anyone to being the father of urban fantasy, and this is well worth a read from a historical standpoint even though it's been surpassed by later works.
Interestingly, it seems more dated than "Conjure, Wife" which is almost explicitly set in the 1950s - perhaps the more precise grounding in time exempts it.
