Description : Kelly Link’s first short-story collection, Stranger Things Happen, was a Salon and Village Voice book of the year. Her second, Magic for Beginners, was a Time book of the year. She is also the author of Pretty Monsters, a collection for young adults. She edited the anthology Trampoline, co-edits the zine Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, and runs Small Beer Press with her partner, Gavin J. Grant. With Ellen Datlow and Gavin J. Grant, she edits The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror. Link lives in Northampton, Massachusetts. Get in Trouble is a collection of short stories by author Kelly Link. It contains nine short stories, five of which were previously published. The stories contain elements of fantasy, magical realism, and light horror. The nine exquisite examples in this collection show her in full command of her formidable powers. In "The Summer People," a young girl in rural North Carolina serves as uneasy caretaker to the mysterious, never-quite-glimpsed visitors who inhabit the cottage behind her house. In "I Can See Right Through You," a middle-aged movie star makes a disturbing trip to the Florida swamp where his former on-and off-screen love interest is shooting a ghost-hunting reality show. In "The New Boyfriend," a suburban slumber party takes an unusual turn, and a teenage friendship is tested, when the spoiled birthday girl opens her big present: a life-size animated doll. Hurricanes, astronauts, evil twins, bootleggers, Ouija boards, iguanas, The Wizard of Oz, superheroes, the Pyramids . . . These are just some of the talismans of an imagination as capacious and as full of wonder as that of any writer today. But as fantastical as these stories can be, they are always grounded by sly humour and an innate generosity of feeling for the frailty - and the hidden strengths - of human beings. In Get in Trouble, this one-of-a-kind talent expands the boundaries of what short fiction can do. The book was a Finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. It was also a Finalist for the Indies Choice Book Award in the category "Book of the Year - Adult Fiction. The story "The Summer People" won the 2011 Shirley Jackson Awards for best novelette
