Welcome to Bordertown is the latest addition to the Bordertown series, an urban fantasy shared world for young adults and teens. In this volume of all-new work (including a 15-page graphic story), original series writers like Charles de Lint and Emma Bull are joined by the generation that grew up dreaming of Bordertown, including acclaimed authors Cassandra Clare, Cory Doctorow, Neil Gaiman, Catherynne M. Valente, and many more. Join them on the streets of Bordertown with more than twenty interconnected songs, poems, and stories. "This is punk-rock, DIY fantasy, full of harsh reality and incandescent magic." — Kirkus Reviews, Starred review "After 13 years of being 'closed' to the outside world (and 13 years since the publication of Terri Windling's original anthologies), Bordertown has reopened to a new generation of runaways, misfits, and dreamers." —School Library Journal Buy the paperback: Amazon | Independent Booksellers |
