The Walker Papers series by Faith Hunter is an eighteen-book fantasy series that started with Urban Shaman in 2005 and ran through Banshee Cries in 2020. The series blends urban fantasy with shamanic and supernatural elements, as suggested by titles like Thunderbird Falls, Coyote Dreams, and Spirit Dances. Alongside the full-length novels, the series includes shorter works and companion stories such as A Garrison Report: Magic Hath An Element, Cauldron Borne, and Easy Pickings.

The main novel sequence runs from Urban Shaman through Shaman Rises (2014), with several novellas and short stories slotted between or after the core books. Later entries like Slaying the Dragon (2016) and Banshee Cries (2020) extended the series after the main storyline wrapped up. Reading in the listed order is recommended, since the shorter pieces often fill in gaps or expand on events from the novels.
