Wisp of a Thing is an urban fantasy[1][2] novel by American writer Alex Bledsoe, first published in the United States in June 2013 by Tor Books. It is the second in a series of six books by Bledsoe about the Tufa living in a remote Appalachian valley in East Tennessee. The Tufa are descendants of Irish fairies and were found in the area when the first European settlers arrived.[3][4]

Wisp of a Thing received positive reviews from critics, and won the 2014 Audie Award for best fantasy audiobook, narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.[5] The book's name was taken from the title of a song by South Carolina singer-songwriter Jennifer Goree.[6]
