Through the lens of Kelly Link's vivid imagination, nothing is what it seems, and everything in this collection of short stories deserves a second look.

From the multiple award-winning The Faery Handbag, in which a teenager's grandmother carries an entire village (or is it a man-eating dog?) in her handbag, to The Wrong Grave, which tells the story of a 16-year-old boy who digs up the grave of his girlfriend in order to rescue the poetry he buried with her - these stories will put goosebumps on your goosebumps.

Link's stories are funny, scary and full of unexpected insights and skewed perspectives on the world.
