Magic for Beginners

Stories, by Kelly Link
 
Kelly Link's utterly original stories riff on haunted convenience stores, husbands and wives, rabbits, zombies, weekly apocalyptic poker parties, witches, and cannons. Her admirers in the literary community--from Alice Sebold and Michael Chabon to Karen Russell and Jonathan Lethem to Neil Gaiman and Sarah Waters--reflect the amazing range that makes her style so special. Richly imaginative, brilliantly written, with characters that surprise and endear themselves to you. Magic for Beginners is one of the most well-loved story collections of the past ten years.
