‘Shadowhunters and Downworlders’ to be released January 29, 2013

Shadowhunters and Downworlders: A Mortal Instruments Reader, from Smart Pop Books, will be available in paperback on January 29, 2013.

Earlier this month at Comic-Con International, Smart Pop Books gave out 10 advance copies of the Mortal Instruments anthology, edited by Cassandra Clare, which clocks in at 256 pages.

Here is the description from Amazon:

Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series, epic urban fantasy set in a richly imagined world of shadowhunters, vampires, werewolves, fairies, and more, has captured the imaginations and loyalty of hundreds of thousands of YA readers. Originally a trilogy (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass), the series has extended to six titles, plus a prequel trilogy, the Infernal Devices, and a planned sequel series, the Dark Artifices. A feature film is planned for 2013.

Shadowhunters and Downworlders, edited by Clare (who provides an introduction to the book and to each piece), is a collection of YA authors writing about the series and its world.
