Lexicon: Indigenous Fantasy

      Indigenous Fantasy: a real world setting that has unexplainable elements (by scientific methods). 

      Elements like species (werewolves, vampires, faries) or magic (incantations, wands, places of power). Indigenous Fantasy is the opposite setting of High Fantasy and often confused with Urban Fantasy (which takes place in cities, and the city itself must play a role in the story [as in, it could not be just any city]).

      Examples: Moon Called by Patricia Briggs, Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin, Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris, and Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.
