* HumansByAnyOtherName: It's a little more complicated, complicated -- the books eventually explain that they're essentially what you get when you add up all the many peoples of the Edge and take an average -- but fourthlings are essentially this.
* PointyEars: Chris Riddell's illustrations give them to pretty much every single form of sapient life on the Edge, in styles ranging from human-sized but pointed on the fourthlings to huge and batlike on the waifs. For most fourthlings, it's the only thing showing that they aren't just humans.

''The Edge Chronicles'' is a [[MiddleGradeLiterature middle grade]] series written by Paul Stewart and illustrated by Chris Riddell. Surprisingly dark and cynical for its target audience, the novels take place on the Edge, as in [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the edge of the world]]. The series is filled with {{sky pirate}}s, bizarre wildlife, and a notable aversion of many stock fantasy tropes.
It should be noted that this series has some of the most detailed and beautiful art you will see in any novel, anywhere. Also some of the ugliest, also some of the scariest.

* DeathWorld: The Deepwoods especially, but the entire Edge can be considered this, from a filthy bog full of predators to a forest that turns you into a zombie, to the dozens of races fighting for survival, and the Nightwoods, home to even harsher creatures. [[WretchedHive Even the towns are almost like this.]] So everyone in the series is living on the [[StealthPun edge]] of disaster. When the Descendors eventually start to climb down the Edge itself, conditions are even worse...

* DarkerAndEdgier: The series itself is much harsher than the majority of childrens' literature. PlotArmor is averted for secondary characters, death is sudden and can come at any moment, prejudice, racism, and xenophobia persist across all races, GrayAndGrayMorality abounds, and even the kindest characters cannot be pacifists and must kill to survive. You'll notice this if you read in publication order. The Twig books are dark enough, with serial murders, slavery, and [[spoiler:an apocalyptic threat that can only be averted by destroying an entire city.]] But then the Second Age (Rook Trilogy) massively dials up the scale of suffering, especially ''Vox'', which may hold the record for the highest body count of any single installment in a middle-grade fantasy. Stories set in this period are full of AdultFear as children and adults alike fight on the frontlines, violence is very heavily described and occasionally illustrated, with anti-capitalist themes and classism in full force.
