I am not much of a short story reader, especially mass collections, but the Bordertown series has never disappointed.
What if the world as we know suddenly had an additional world attached? Specifically, the world of fairies. And what if fairies and elves were not the nice [a:J.M. Barrie|5255014|J.M. Barrie|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1318047214p2/5255014.jpg] type, but the haughty, beautiful, and dangerously self-obsessed types of Shakespeare?
This is how the series started, with some of the best sf/fantasy authors in existence penning stories. Now, a decade later, the series starts back up, with timely explanations for missing years and the changes in the world. Fantastic.
