Borderland by Terri Windling
4.0
Very interesting collection of four fairy tales set in Bordertown, between elven and human lands.
The stories have a distinct late 70s, 80s feel to them, which I like. There are some blunders, very much typical of the time the anthology was published in, some minor scenes that felt very out of place from a modern perspective.
The influence of these stories on modern fairy tale and urban fantasy is very obvious and as someone who really enjoys the fairy tale subgenre I'm very impressed.
