Get In Trouble Stories

A new, much anticipated collection of stories from the inimitable Kelly Link.

'These nine stories may begin in familiar territory—a birthday party, a theme park, a bar, a spaceship—but they quickly draw readers into an imaginative, disturbingly ominous world of realistic fantasy and unreal reality. Like Kafka hosting Saturday Night Live, Link mixes humour with existential dread...Her characters, driven by yearning and obsession, not only get in trouble but seek trouble out—to spectacular effect.' Publishers Weekly

'Darkly funny, sexy, frightening, and truly weird—Link can dismantle and remake the world in a paragraph.' Karen Russell

'The most darkly playful voice in American fiction.' Michael Chabon

‘She is a sorcerer. She is our greatest living fabulist.’ Carmen Maria Machado

'Richly imagined, intellectually teasing: these are not so much small fictions as windows on to entire worlds. A brilliant, giddying read.' Sarah Waters
