@Poohead189 - One of the best books about Chicago that I've read is Devil in the White City, by Erik Larson. It chronicles the 1893 World's Columbian Exhibition, an event that still informs quite a lot about Chicago to this day, and the monstrous man who made the World's Fair his hunting ground as America's first widely-known serial killer. While the story concerns itself with things that happened over a century ago, you still get an amazing view of how Chicago operates that is directly applicable to today.

I should point out that Devil in the White City is pure nonfiction; everything in there actually happened and the book is a chronicle of real events and real people. That the story rather reads like urban supernatural horror is part of what makes it so terrifying.

Interesting...I've not read much nonfiction lately, other than Under The Black Flag which is merely just research for a pirate story I'm writing up. That's really intriguing honestly, that Chicago is still relatively the same to this day. I'll see if my library has it, thank you!

@jasonwolf Always pays to be informed. But yeah, I'm certain we'll be more concerned with the ghosts and vampires and not the geography in our posts.

For real though, Devil in the White City is an awesome book. Good book to get you familiarized with Chicago (somewhat) and it's an interesting read

@jasonwolfFrankly I don't see how this is any different than parents riding around on bikes with their kids strapped to a plastic chair behind them

@ihinka No bikes. A nice heavily armored SUV will do fine.

Since I'm not versed in any cities within the States I think I'll have Malone be a transplant from somewhere like so:

I've also been thinking about Leon getting a specially trained dog that can sniff out magic or something. I just feel like he needs someone/thing that can watch Maria when he's at work that deals with magic.
