Welcome (back) to Bordertown

[Ellen Kushner]

Exactly one week from today sees the publication of a project very
dear to my heart:

WELCOME TO BORDERTOWN
a new anthology of interconnected stories and poems
by some of today's finest fantasists
edited by
Holly Black & Ellen Kushner
with Introduction by the original series creator, Terri Windling
(Random House, May 24, 2011)

Even before publication, the buzz and reviews have been amazing:
We've just been selected as a 2011 Summer Indie Next List Book for
Teens - and our starred Kirkus review says: "This is punk-rock, DIY
fantasy, full of harsh reality and incandescent magic - a masterful
anthology."
