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, and to find themselves. Elves play in rock bands and race down the street on spell-powered motorbikes. Human kids recreate themselves in squats and clubs and artist's studios of Soho. Authors including Holly Black, Cassandra Clare, Cory Doctorow, Neil Gaiman, Catherynne M. Valente, all meet here on the streets of Bordertown in more than twenty new interconnected songs, poems and stories.

I've long wanted to read the Bordertown books, but I haven't had any luck in finding them. So I was very happy to see this anthology. It is very high-quality, other than some of the poetry that feels somewhat last-minute.
