Pulitzer Prize finalist and bestselling author Kelly Link presents a “dazzling” (Entertainment Weekly) collection of nine short stories that explore the complexity of loss, identity, and the absurdity that is life.
“Flat-out genius.”—Holly Black, internationally bestselling author of The Cruel Prince
“Kelly Link is a sorceress to be reckoned with.”—The New York Times Book Review
Through the lens of Kelly Link’s vivid imagination, nothing is what it seems, and everything deserves a second look. These nine stories are full of unexpected insights, skewed perspectives on the world, and . . .

• Tennessee Fainting Goats
• Dueling librarians
• A statue of George Washington
• A boy named Orion
• Pirates
• An undead babysitter
• A nationally ranked soccer player
• Shapeshifters
• An unexpected campfire guest
