Merry Gentry Alternatives?

[delilahkanes.livejournal.com]

I think it's quite easy to find Anita-like alternative reading material in this day and age (I can't spit without hitting a book about some girl dealing with vampires/werewolves), but I was wondering if anyone has stumbled across some quality urban fantasy material about faeries? I'm almost completely clueless.

The only one that immediately comes to mind is War for the Oaks (highly recommended).

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm without any books lined up to read right now and it's kinda freaking me out.

I prefer Neverwhere and Good Omens and Coraline. I wasn't that crazy about American Gods or Anansi Boys.

THANK YOU! I actually preferred Anasi Boys to American Gods, which was 2/3 longer then what it needed to be, with a plot that has been done a million times before (at least the idea of gods coming here with their believers and losing power....)

And certainly not his best work!

Yeah. American Gods seems to be one of those books that people either really like or dislike. NEverwhere, Good Omens and Coraline are definitely better starting points.
