The Shambling Guide to New York City

Cosy, romantic fantasy from the award-winning Mur Lafferty, about a travel writer who agrees to write a travel guide - for the supernatural creatures of her home city.

'Irresistible' Kirkus

COULD YOU FIND A HOTEL FOR A HARPY? OR A BAR FOR A BIGFOOT?

Following the disaster that was her last job, Zoë is searching for a fresh start as a travel writer. But after stumbling across a seemingly perfect position, Zoë is blocked at every turn because of the one thing she can't take off her résumé - human.

Not to be put off by anything, especially not her blood-drinking boss nor her death goddess co-worker, Zoë delves deep into her new assignment. But her quest to provide the supernatural community with the cosiest cafes and ritziest restaurant reviews must halt when the careful balance between humans and monsters starts to crumble - with Zoë right in the middle.


'THE SHAMBLING GUIDE TO NEW YORK CITY is a high-concept, high-comedy romp through the supernatural world. It's like nothing you've ever read before - and that's a good thing' Seanan McGuire
