Looking for new stuff to read

I don't write Urban Fantasy but I like to read it sometimes. Right now I'm getting rather tired of vampires, zombies, werewolves and all the usual stuff, it would be fun to find something where some of the stuff people actually have claimed to see is used.

So, does anyone know if there are stories which use, say, the black-eyed kids/persons, shadow people, ufo abduction where the aliens turn out to be something supernatural (there are plenty of ufo abduction stories where the greys or reptilians or whatever do stuff like walking through walls...), elves which are folkloric and not the standard Tolkien fantasy ones or turn out to be the same phenomena which now appear as ufo occupants, streetlight interference (SLIding), anything out of the ordinary for fiction but what you can find in Fortean or other research? The Michigan dogman or a supernatural version of bigfoot - possibly in connection with ufos because they do often appear in same areas and same sighting clusters - might be fun too. Or supernatural river/lake monsters?

I'm familiar with both Emma Bull's and Wen Spencer's books, but I'll check out the others. Thanks.

There are so many different and delightfully creepy stories of all kinds of critters out there that I do find it a pity so many writers keep on using just those few most familiar ones. They do have their place, vampires and zombies can still be fun when done well, it's just that it would be nice if there was a bit more variety. Especially since, as said, the writer doesn't even have to invent new critters, they already exist as urban legends, folklore and in paranormal stories.

A bit off the subject but about these unused paranormal story critters, has anyone seen the trailer for the new movie 'Vanishing on 7th street'? At least the trailer looks like perhaps some writer/s has read about the Shadow people/Shadow ghosts (no idea how original the movie's basic premise is, seems there is a similar game).

Er, off the subject, about that 'In the land of frost, volcanoes, and well-armed women' which now seems to appear under my name, no volcanoes around where I live. I did, however, once work a few summers in a project called 'The Lapland volcanite project' so perhaps it's as fitting as that 'well-armed women' bit if you go back far enough in time. About 2800 to 2700 million years or so.
