Magic for Beginners

<i>Magic for Beginners</i> is Kelly Link's eagerly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to her beloved debut,<i>Stranger Things Happen</i>. "Cumulatively weirder and wiser" (<i>The Believer</i>), this new story collection riffs on zombies, marriage, witches, superheroes, haunted convenience stores, and weekly apocalyptic poker parties, among other things. Link's work is truly unique.<i>Time Out New York</i> called her stories "cross-genre gems," and her admirers in the literary community--from Peter Straub and Karen Joy Fowler to Alice Sebold and Michael Chabon--reflect the amazing range that makes her style so special. Call it kitchen sink magical realism: Fantastic and bizarre but funny and down to earth, there is something for everyone in<i>Magic for Beginners</i>.<br> <br> .<br> <br> <br>
