Publisher Description
It’s hard to believe, but this anthology first appeared 28 years ago. In re-reading the stories in this gathering of the weirdest tales, I am also reminded of how strikingly fresh and original the material remains.
As its title implies, Borderlands contains fiction that resides out there on the edge, on the perimeter of what's being done in the field of horror, dark fantasy, and suspense literature. When I solicited material for what I hope will be the first of many volumes, I made it clear I didn't want stories that employed any of the traditional symbols and images of the genre. I wanted writers to expand the envelope, to look beyond the usual metaphors, and bring me something new.
Some fresh meat, so to speak.
So, dig in!

Customer Reviews
Borderlands is a classic.
I read this years ago when it was relatively new and now, twenty years later, I can say it still holds up. All the stories are good, but some of them are just transcendent, Elizabeth Massie’s Stephen being my favorite.
This is the first Borderlands, there are many other volumes to enjoy and I recommend them all.
