Here's the review from my twice-yearly zine (October '06). I think I preferred Link's debut short story collection, Stranger Things Happen, but I definitely appreciate what she's aiming for her. Nobody writes stories quite like hers: Kelly Link is herself no stranger to the bizarre, or even to charges of sometimes wading too deep into its waters for some readers’ taste. In a recent missive to members of her online writing workshop, Link encouraged writers to “submit more ambitious work....stories and characters and narrative twists that only you are strange enough to write.” Link has clearly taken this advice to heart, and then some. The stories that she and husband Gavin Grant select regularly for Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, their twice yearly zine, as well those chosen for the Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror series, which the couple have co-edited with Ellen Datlow since 2004—to say nothing of Trampoline, the 2003 anthology Link edited by herself—all of these reveal a penchant for the interestingly odd, the adventurous and ambitious short story. But this is nowhere more evident than in Link’s own short stories, most recently collected in the delightful Magic for Beginners (2005, Small Beer Press). These are stories that toy with expectations, subvert what we think we know to reveal something fundamentally more unusual and intriguing, more sinister or sublime, at the core. These stories often do have the feel of dreams to them—which of course is to say the bizarre, but not simply for its own sake. The strange and unexpected twists these stories sometimes take, the playfulness that Link displays with her words, the worlds she builds that are not quite our own—these are not an attempt to undermine reality, but to clarify it, to better understand and reveal the weird magic at reality’s heart. These have the feel not just of images, but of unsettling truths. Link’s stories are as frightening, and as funny, and as dazzling as any lingering dream.
