Bordertown
Bordertown is on the very edge, in between, an unholy yet sacrosanct Brigadoon, the place you never expected to find - a beautiful, terrifying, fuzzily lit strip inhabited by hungry ghosts and fearless phantoms unveiled only in the wicked, susurrant, bloody dream you yearn for from the wild darkest corner of your desperate heart.
