From the Publisher
Bordertown: a city on the border between our human world and the
elfin realm. Runaway teens come from both sides of the border to
find adventure, to find themselves. Elves play in rock bands and
race down the street on spell-powered motorbikes. Human kids
recreate themselves in the squats and clubs and artists'' studios
of Soho. Terri Windling''s original Bordertown series was the
forerunner of today''s urban fantasy, introducing authors that
included Charles de Lint, Will Shetterly, Emma Bull, and Ellen
Kushner. In this volume of all-new work (including a 15-page
graphic story), the original writers are now joined by the
generation that grew up dreaming of Bordertown, including acclaimed
authors Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, Cory Doctorow, Neil Gaiman,
Catherynne M. Valente, and many more. They all meet here on the
streets of Bordertown in more than twenty new interconnected songs,
poems, and stories.
