Mage in Manhattan: Difference between revisions

* [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s modern fantasies usually involve some version of this, with the monster usually being one of the [[The Fair Folk|Unseleighe Sidhe]] (Dark Court Elves). Most representative of this trope is ''Mad Maudlin'', in which Aerune, self-styled Lord of Death and Pain, tries to open a Nexus to [[Magical Land|Underhill]] in Central Park and a Sidhe driven mad by the presence of cold iron turns into a literal [[wikipedia:Bloody Mary (folklore)|Bloody Mary]], murdering people left and right.
