2024 LOCUS AWARD FINALIST, BEST COLLECTION AND BEST NOVELETTE FOR PRINCE HAT UNDERGROUND
Seven modern fairytales from Pulitzer Prize finalist Kelly Link, featuring illustrations by award-winning artist Shaun Tan. Leaving behind the enchanted castles, deep, dark woods, and gingerbread cottages of fairytales for airport waiting rooms, alien planets, and a cannabis farm run by a team of hospitable cats, White Cat, Black Dog offers a fresh take on the stories that you thought you knew. Here, you'll find stoner students, failing actors, and stranded professors questing for love, revenge, or even just a sense of purpose. Poised on the edges between magic, modernity, and mundanity, this collection will remind you once again of why Kelly Link is incomparable in the realm of short fiction. Don't stray from the path! Not without Kelly Link as your guide.
