Synopsis :

Weird, wicked, spooky and delicious, Pretty Monsters is a book of tall tales to keep you up all night. Blending fairytale, fantasy, horror, myth and mischief in a delicious cocktail, 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 babysitters, and we encounter a people-eating monster who claims to have a sense of humour. Combining the imaginative brilliance of Borges with the madcap escapades of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and more than a pinch of macabre humour, this is writing to come back from the dead for.

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. Link lives in Northampton, Massachusetts.
