Hasn't been anything "recent" for me. Check out the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. My favorite depiction of "fae" in a modern setting. Yeah, you still have dew drop fairies and gnomes and shit but you also have giant fuckass murder ogres and insane kelpies and war unicorns.

The second Hellboy movie also did a great job bringing that sort of grimdark feel to the fae lore imo.

Bro the last 2 "books" are so unbearably horny I barely finished them. I couldn't finish the newest Cinder Spires book he put out for exactly the same reason. Jim was on such a good run doing awesome shit between Changes and Skin Game, but I guess losing his dog and then his marriage really pushed him into a return to horny.
