4.0

A revisit of a shared-world that was apparently at the beginnings of the modern era of urban fantasy. Kind of an uneven collection but lots of good stuff in here. And a just barely relevant Charles De Lint story to finish it off. The idea is essentially that Bordertown has been unreachable for 13 years and in that time only 13 days have passed - probably inspired by the 13 year gap since "The Essential Bordertown: A Traveller's Guide to the Edge of Faerie" was published. Not high art but I liked it. 4.5 of 5.
