Borges-meets-Buffy, or Scarlett-Thomas-meets-Coraline ... for Halloween
Kelly Link lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she and her husband, Gavin J. Grant, run Small Beer Press and publish the zine Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet. She once won a free trip around the world by answering the question, 'Why do you want to go around the world?' ('Because you can't go through it.')
All of Link's stories are wonderfully odd and original . . . Very
scary indeed.
* * SARAH WATERS * *
Kelly Link is the literary descendant of Jorge Luis Borges and
Franz Kafka.
* * AUDREY NIFFENEGGER * *
Funny, moving, tender, brave and dangerous. She is unique, and
should be declared a national treasure, and possibly surrounded at
all times by a cordon of armed marines.
* * NEIL GAIMAN * *
Link's stories play in a place few writers go, a netherworld
between literature and fantasy, Alice Munro and JK Rowling, and
Link find truths there that most authors wouldn't dare touch.
* * TIME MAGAZINE * *
A new short story collection by Kelly Link ... and once more, for a
little while, the world is worth saving.
* * MICHAEL CHABON * *
Intoxicating. These stories will come alive, put on zoot suits, and
wrestle you to the ground. They want you and you will be
theirs.
* * ALICE SEBOLD * *
