Summary/Abstract: Urban Fantasy is a problematic sub-genre as it challenges the borders between Fantasy and Fantastique/Gothic fiction. Indeed, just like the latter, it is based on the manifestations of the supernatural into our world, potentially creating a confrontation between this world and the magical one. This article examines how Charles de Lint has invented the sub-genre with his novel Moonheart and, through a close analysis of his work, aims at identifying what differentiates Fantasy from Gothic in Urban Fantasy.
