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.

From the Hardcover edition.

Industry Reviews

Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews, April 15, 2011: "This is punk-rock, DIY fantasy, full of harsh reality and incandescent magic...a masterful anthology." Starred Review, School Library Journal, June 2011: "It s easy to be transported by each entry s rich details and compelling characters, but this page-turner s biggest success is in how veteran authors simultaneously address the themes through traditional fantasy tropes and current reality." "From the Hardcover edition.""
