Welcome to Bordertown

So today I woke up and remembered I'm a librarian and stuff, so why not tell you about a book for a change?


Welcome to Bordertown, edited by Holly Black and Ellen Kushner

Bordertown is a halfway place, between the human world and the Realm.  Elves and humans, magic and technology, exist side by side.  Not peacefully though.  Most of the runaways and dreamers who flee to B-Town are surprised to find there are still gangs, still drugs, still people (human and Faerie) who will take advantage of you.

So why would you ever go there?  To see a whole new set of stars in the night sky, to dance all night on Soho Street, to start an Internet empire, to find your long-lost family.  And the first beer at the Dancing Ferret is on the house.
