You might like 'The Lightning Thief' by Rick Riordan. Although it's part of a longer series, it has elements of urban fantasy mystery as it's set in modern times and involves the discovery of a hidden world of Greek gods. 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children' by Ransom Riggs is another. The old photographs add to the mystery, and the story of the peculiar children and the time - loops is very engaging.

Please recommend some classic urban short stories.
😋I would like to recommend two novels to you. One is "Starting from Bilibili to Make Ghost Movies" and the other is "Siheyuan: Listen to Me!" The former was a mystery and suspense novel. It told the story of the protagonist, Zhang En, starting from Bilibili, bombarding people's senses with short films and becoming a director through continuous shooting of short films. The latter was an urban life novel. After the protagonist, Jia Yi, transmigrated into the film and television world, he started a series of classic stories that transcended time and space through the domineering courtyard to protect his friends. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
