Seanan Mcguire is a fantastic author who has created many hilarious enjoyable series that dance across the genres of urban fantasy, horror, and superheroes. I’m especially fond of her Incryptid series that takes the typical “monster slaying badass” story for its heroine and instead makes her a conservationist. However, for me, my favorite of her series is the lesser known Velveteen Versus series that is probably up there with Soon I will be Invincible for my favorite superhero books of all time.
