Synopsis

Weird, wicked, spooky and delicious, Pretty Monsters is a book of tall tales to keep you up all night. Kelly Link creates a world like no other, where ghosts of girlfriends past rub up against Scrabble-loving grandmothers with terrifying magic handbags, wizards sit alongside morbid babsitters, and we encounter a people-eating monster with a sick sense of humour.

This edition also features a Brand New story, 'The Cinderella Game'.

She was born in Miami, Florida, and once won a free trip around the world by answering the question, 'Why do you want to go around the world?' ('Because you can't go through it.') Link lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she and her husband, Gavin J. Grant, run Small Beer Press and play ping-pong. In 1996 they started the occasional zine Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet. www.kellylink.net

: 'Wonderfully odd and original [and] very scary indeed.', Sarah Waters
: 'Intoxicating. These stories will come alive, put on zoot suits, and wrestle you to the ground. They want you and you will be theirs.', Alice Sebold
: 'Kelly Link is the literary descendant of Jorge Luis Borges and Franz Kafka.', Audrey Niffenegger
: 'Funny, moving, tender, brave and dangerous. She is unique, and should be declared a national
treasure, and possibly surrounded at all times by a cordon of armed marines.', Neil Gaiman
: 'Link's stories play in a place few writers go, a netherworld between literature and fantasy, Alice Munro and JK Rowling.', Time
