After our talk the other night I thought of mysteries, specifically Sharon McCrumb's Appalachian series.
Thought of Paul Bunyan and the Blue Ox too. (nodding at Galeni)
Of course the Hillerman series of mysteries. Perhaps the genre lends itself to more mythic themes. Science Fiction isn't about myth, per se and Fantasy is mostly written entirely in a fantastic realm.
Hey, Thorne Smith. Topper and his ghosts, the ghosts were definately urban Americans.
