	Contemporary fantasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Contemporary fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy, also known as modern-day fantasy, or indigenous fantasy.
		Contemporary fantasies often concern places dear to their authors, are full of local color and atmosphere, and attempt to lend a sense of magic to those places, particularly when the subgenre overlaps with mythic fiction.
		Contemporary fantasy can also be found on the mainstream fiction shelves in the work of Alice Hoffman (Practical Magic), Louise Erdrich (The Antelope Wife), Chitra Bannerjee Divakaruni (Mistress of Spices), and others.
