Editorial Reviews

Booklist Reviewer
"These story settings range from the suburbs to the cities of the future; and their approaches to the idea of the urban, what urbs are, and how we might interact with them as they become ever more fantastic, are wildly varied, intensely satisfying."
Delia Sherman
"Paper Cities is a really cool anthology, a wide-ranging collection of styles, approaches, and genres. In fact, it's a wonderful metaphor for the idea of the City: simultaneously bright and dark, crowded and lonely, all about life and all about death, beautiful and horrible. There are remarkable imaginations at work in these stories. Read them and see."
Jeff VanderMeer
"Variety, along with a willingness to publish new and established writers alike, helps explain Paper Cities' considerable appeal…ambitious and entertaining...a delightful and absorbing read."
Library Journal
"Together with 18 other stories of cities and their people, this vital collection pushes the envelope of the urban fantasy genre, reaching beyond the standards made popular by Charles de Lint, Tanya Huff, and Jim Butcher to create an ever expanding definition of the term...this collection belongs in most libraries."
Rich Horton
"A strong, original, selection; giving a useful reinvigoration to the idea of Urban Fantasy."
