Re: RARA-AVIS: Laurel Hamilton and supernatural elements

Glen Cook wrote a series of fantasy novels with a PI protagonist. I haven't read them myself.

Depending on how far you want to stretch the term, George Dawes Greene's THE CAVEMAN'S VALENTINE could be said to have supernatural elements.

I've often said that Cornell Woolrich's stuff is essentially supernatural fiction without any supernatural elements (if that makes any sense). It's interesting how much ghost ficiton aficianados, for instance, like Woolrich.

Really, though, the primary exponent to me in the genre is Burke.
