Urban fantasy
Magic bleeds into a city you half recognise: the same subway, the same bar on the corner, but a vampire is tending bar or a witch is haggling over rent. The appeal is the friction between the ordinary and the uncanny, where a detective or a reluctant hero has to keep their day job while the supernatural pulls at their sleeve. You get wit, late-night stakes, and a sense that the monsters were always living next door.
