Why read it?
1 author picked The Shambling Guide to New York City as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A recent transplant from the South gets hired as a travel book editor and finds herself the sole human employee in a company run by a vampire. Her coworkers include zombies, incubi, and even a goddess. As part of her job, she must write a tourist guide to the city—for the undead.

From Alex's list on funny and snarky fantasy set in New York City.
