Weird, wicked, spooky and delicious, Pretty Monsters is a book of tall tales to keep you up all night. Kelly Link creates a world like no other, where ghosts of girlfriends past rub up against Scrabble-loving grandmothers with terrifying magic handbags, wizards sit alongside morbid babsitters, and we encounter a people-eating monster with a sick sense of humour. This edition also features a Brand New story, 'The Cinderella Game'.

About the Author

Kelly Link lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she and her husband run Small Beer Press and play ping-pong. She once won a free trip around the world by answering the question, "Why do you want to go around the world?" ("Because you can't go through it.")

Industry Reviews

* Wonderfully odd and original [and] very scary indeed. -- Sarah Waters * Intoxicating. These stories will come alive, put on zoot suits, and wrestle you to the ground. They want you and you will be theirs. -- Alice Sebold * Kelly Link is the literary descendant of Jorge Luis Borges and Franz Kafka. -- Audrey Niffenegger Funny, moving, tender, brave and dangerous. She is unique, and should be declared a national treasure, and possibly surrounded at all times by a cordon of armed marines. -- Neil Gaiman * Link's stories play in a place few writers go, a netherworld between literature and fantasy, Alice Munro and JK Rowling. Time * Has plenty to tangle the imagination and leaves some endings tantalisingly hanging in the dark air. Daily Mail * Against a backdrop of recognisable Americana, anything might happen, and usually does. The Observer * brimming with singular observations and arresting takes on veryday lives, characters and situations...it's a rollercoaster read Books for Keeps
