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!
