In this dazzling collection, prize-winning short story writer Kelly
Link takes the ordinary and makes it strange - and the strange and
makes it ordinary. Engaging, funny, eerie and magical, these nine
stories prove Link to be an original and important talent. Of all
the books you read this year, this will be the one that you
remember. Taking themes from horror and fantasy, these stories
transform them into the stuff of delicate lyrical fantasy, with a
distinctive and effervescent blend of humour and pathos. In 'Stone
Animals', a middle-class family moves from Manhattan to a beautiful
house in the suburbs. Almost immediately, their belongings become
haunted, and they are increasingly unnerved by the growing hordes
of rabbits that camp out nightly on the front lawn. The title story
follows a group of adolescent schoolfriends whose experiences
subtly parallel events in a surreal TV fantasy series which
switches channels and times at whim. In 'The Hortlak', an all-night
convenience store serves zombies as an experiment in retail; while
'The Faery Handbag' features a village which takes refuge from time
to time in a magical handbag. Bold, tender, mischievous and
unsettling, Link's stories have the insistent quality of dreams and
show a writer at the height of her powers.
