Magic for Beginners is Kelly Linkโs eagerly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to her beloved debut, Stranger Things Happen. โCumulatively weirder and wiserโ (The Believer), this new story collection riffs on zombies, marriage, witches, superheroes, haunted convenience stores, and weekly apocalyptic poker parties, among other things.
Linkโs work is truly unique. Time Out New York called her stories โcross-genre gems,โ and her admirers in the literary communityโfrom Peter Straub and Karen Joy Fowler to Alice Sebold and Michael Chabonโreflect 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 Magic for Beginners.
