31: The Dresden Files
The Dresden Files, huh? I could skip over it to Smallville or Star Wars, but no, the point is a challenge.
Although not much of a challenge as it’s an urban fantasy detective, basically Angel but with a wizard.
I know enough to know it has mostly sinister magic users. And more organised groups of vampires. And a talking skull. And did the animated dinosaur skeleton thing before the film of Night At The Museum though way after the book, and after Doctor Mordrid too, which is where I stole it for The Watch House.
And apparently its own Christmas story did the Santa as Odin thing.
But anyway, Dresden being a wizard detective who actually advertises being a wizard in the phone book is unusual in largely Earthly settings, unlike something like Grimjack in a more fantasitcal world. So...
The Claus Files
Most kids send letters to Santa ahead of Christmas asking for toys and promising to leave out mince pies. But sometimes a letter comes through off season, asking for a much more important request, aid with a supernatural danger. And that’s when Santa steps in to do battle with the Naughty.
