The city has always been a place of mystery, of magic, and wonder. In cities past, present, and future, in metropoli real and imagined, meet mutilated warrior-women, dead boys, mechanical dogs, escape artists and more. From the dizzying heights of rooftops and spires to the sinister secrets of underpasses and gutters, some of the most talented authors writing today will take you on a trip through the urban fantastic. Edited by Ekaterina Sedia, author of The Secret History of Moscow and the forthcoming Alchemy of Stone.

The anthology contains twenty-one original stories from Forrest Aguirre, Barth Anderson, Steve Berman, Darin Bradley, Stephanie Campisi, Hal Duncan, Mike Jasper, Vylar Kaftan, Jay Lake, Paul Meloy, Richard Parks, Ben Peek, Cat Rambo, Jenn Reese, David Schwartz, Cat Sparks, Anna Tambour, Mark Teppo, Catherynne M. Valente, Greg van Eekhout, and Kaaron Warren.

Catherynne M. Valente's novel, PALIMPSEST, was inspired by the story of the same name that appears in PAPER CITIES. You can view the trailer for her novel here:

"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."
-Jeff VanderMeer for Publishers Weekly, Signature Review

"These stories are like dark chocolate: rich, decadent, sometimes bitter, but always complex and stimulating. Be careful. They will keep you up at night!"
-Theodora Goss, author of In the Forest of Forgetting

"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."
-Delia Sherman, author of Changeling, editor of Interfictions.
