Forum: Story Recommendations

I've been on a contemporary fantasy binge for the past few months ever since discovering the Alex Verus novels. I've come across and thoroughly enjoyed these stories listed here as follows:

- My little ventrue by Novus Animus - https://storiesonline.net/s/17526/my-little-ventrue (I'm a big fan of the World of Darkness Universe and am really enjoying this)

- Keeper by Charly Young - https://storiesonline.net/s/24462/keeper

- The Power by El Sol - https://storiesonline.net/s/72250/the-power

Any recommendations within the aforementioned sub-genre would be greatly appreciated. Do note that I'm not averse to any specific tag as long as it falls under contemporary fantasy.

Thanks!

I'm on my phone and linking is a pain, but search the Arc Deco universe here. It is definitely in that Alex Verus (big fan!) / Dresden mold. It's a great series that gets better. Be warned that the fourth and final book (Also the longest) leaves a lot on the table for future use, but it hasn't been updated in years so I think this is all we get.

Feels Dresdenish. Incomplete but still a good read.

The life of Tamalain arrowmark by Tamalain, it's a 13 part series, fome short some long

QM's "Magician " and "Mage" are good fun too

You might try Ol'Mac's El of a way to go universe.

This is a Universe populated by all the characters one would find in a clasical fantasy setting. The twist being that the tales are set in modern day "Chicago, IL". The tales themselves are,(normally) a lighthearted romp with enough adrenaline shots to keep your interest. Enjoy the trip, Folks.

Also by Uncle Jim
"The Amulets of Power — A Universe from the Mind of Uncle Jim
These stories take place in a Parallel Universe. The separation point between our Universe and the one in these stories was when the six Amulets arrived on Earth. This was about fifty years before the founding of the Chakri Dynasty in Thailand (6 April 1782)."

There are five stories. I reviewed the fifth one, and liked it a lot.
