I guess (anything, but) along the lines of a psychic helping out cops or a character being a witch without of the flash and sparkle hexing. Maybe tarot reader or clairvoyant who has an ‘everyday life’ and isn’t sitting under a neon ‘see your future here’ sign.
Haunted house and/or the ‘actual’ psychic (someone who knows they are psychic in some form and has agreed to deal with the problem) or the ‘accidental’ psychic (someone who’s walked into the house and is now having to come to terms with the fact they are actually in a haunted house and somehow can interact with the situation) who’s having to deal with something that is not the norm for the world around them and not something they could explain to the cops if things go wrong.
Even something like vampire/s or weres, as long as it’s not based in fantasy...?
Let’s see, I like these, but I’m looking for something for more real world than the below.
- Trueblood: just goes straight into supernatural
- GuildHunter or Psy Changeling series by Nalini Singh: they are real world... in their own real world, so rules and things are different straight up.
- I’ll try and think of more
The book that set me on this interest is Berkley Street by Ron Ripley. The MC was a child when the family moved into a haunted house and the ghosts started harassing him, and no one believed. As an adult, he has to try and sort things out with the house that has its own ideas. Again, everyday life where ghost and haunted houses are for the movies and crazies, but it is his reality.
Thanks :)
