The perfect collection for anyone who enjoys a little strangeness in their fantasy fiction, the tales in this award-winning short story collection have been described as "effervescent blends of quirky humor and pathos that transform stock themes of genre fiction into the stuff of delicate lyrical fantasy." Link's stories riff on familiar themes such as haunted convenience stores, apocalyptic poker parties, and magical thrift store finds, among others.
