Although this (sub)genre shares many elements with UrbanFantasy, mythpunk stories tend to avoid [[ThreeActStructure linear or obvious story structures]], [[PurpleProse simple prose]] and [[ClicheStorm easily-discernible character archetypes]]. You may find talking dance shoes or carnivorous zebra-satyrs in a mythpunk tale, but [[{{Wangst}} lovesick vampires]] are right out!

[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythpunk#Other_proposed_derivatives Mythpunk]] refers to "a subgenre of mythic fiction" in which classical folklore and fairy tales get hyperpoetic postmodern makeovers. Coined by author Creator/CatherynneMValente, the term [[http://yuki-onna.livejournal.com/263738.html describes]] "a brand of speculative fiction which starts in folklore and myth and adds elements of postmodern fantastic techniques: urban fantasy, confessional poetry, non-linear storytelling, linguistic calisthenics, worldbuilding, and academic fantasy."

* ''LightNovel/TheMysticArchivesOfDantalian'' does it in-universe: storybooks have powers that can be drawn into RealLife, and it's the job of the main characters to stop such effects before they harm people. [[AntiHero Some of them]] are more willing to ShootTheDog than others.
