Like any anthology, I liked some stories more than others. They're strongly tied together l, featuring a very short epistolary story at the start, end, and periodically between the others, which overlap in the way of events and characters, as well as setting. A little grim, exploring the darker side of mixing humans, elves, and magic together. People, regardless of species, are flawed. They fall in love, make mistakes, hurt each other... an up and down adventure.

This volume is larger than the previous two and features new authors as well as familiar ones. But Life on the Border felt different from BORDERLAND and BORDERTOWN
My very favorite shared universe, about a city on the blurred edge of earth and faerie, and the people who find their way there. One of many anthologies and stand-alone novels.
A friend loaned me this book a few weeks before I moved from Ann Arbor, MI, to Falls Church, VA, in late 1991. It came with me. (Sorry, Janet.)Borderland #3 was my introduction to urban fantasy. My favorite was the Kara Dalkey story, "Nightwail," about an aspiring singer, haunted by a banshee. The sense of melancholy, and a feeling of being alone, even in a crowd of alleged friends, built up from the first paragraph and hit a crescendo at the end.Other stories ranged from good to excellent.I'm c...
Bordertown book - what more is there to say?
