Magic for Beginners（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　”Magic for Beginners” is Kelly Link’s eagerly anticipated and
critically acclaimed follow-up to her beloved debut, “Stranger
Things Happen.” “Cumulatively weirder and wiser” (“The Believer”),
this new story collection riffs on zombies, marriage, witches,
superheroes, haunted convenience stores, and weekly apocalyptic
poker parties, among other things. Link’s work is truly unique.
“Time Out New York” called her stories “cross-genre gems,” and her
admirers in the literary community–from Peter Straub and Karen Joy
Fowler to Alice Sebold and Michael Chabon–reflect 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.” .

　　Kelly Link’s first collection of short stories, ‘Stranger
Things Happen’ was a Salon Book of the Year. She is also the editor
of the anthology ‘Trampoline’ and co-editor of ‘The Year’s Best
Fantasy & Horror’, as well as the magazine ‘Lady Churchill’s
Rosebud Wristlet’. She lives in Massachusetts, USA, where she runs
