What make King's work horror is not the subject matter so much but the style it is written in. His works are written to very suspenseful, even the one with no monsters. My point was I don't think you can define urban fantasy without talking about the themes and style it is written in.
I really don;t know the answer by the way. Was Anne Rice Urban fantasy? It wasn't horror.

Unlike the poll, I do not think that The Dresden Files is urban fantasy.

I've read just the one book by de Lint, and thought it was great.
