Praise for Kelly Link
andThe Wrong Grave

‘Almost certainly not human. I believe she is a story-telling elemental who has unearthly powers that she uses to create wondrous and deeply fascinating tales.’

‘The literary descendant of Jorge Luis Borges and Franz Kafka.’

‘Intoxicating.’

‘A sorceress.’

‘A new collection by Kelly Link—and once more, for a little while, the world is worth saving.’
