New Releases by Kelly Link

Lace. Leather. Open collars over exquisite collarbones. A single red drop on paper-white cuffs. From the brocade extravagance of the Unseelie courts to the ubiquitous leather of supernatural detectives to the old-fashioned good taste of wealthy vampires -- we are as familiar with fantasy protagonists'' attire as we are with their paranormal deed. Tales of tormented designers and well-dressed vampires strut into spotlight in this anthology of fantasy tales focusing on the world of fashion and its intersection with the uncanny.

In the first major YA steampunk anthology, fourteen top storytellers push the genre''s mix of sci-fi, fantasy, history, and adventure in fascinating new directions. -- pub. website.

A collection of short stories features witches as main characters and contains works by such prominent authors as Neil Gaiman, Jane Yolen, Madeleine L''Engle, and Ursula K. Le Guin.

Abre este libro y descubre un mundo real convertido en hermosamente irreal: amor, zombis, extraterrestres y hermanos que salen disparados de un cañón. Kelly Link coloca una lente fantástica sobre todo aquello que nos conmueve y nos convierte en quienes somos. En Magia para lectores encontrarás infinidad de cosas: un bolso con un pueblo dentro, bibliotecarios que se baten en duelo, sofás probablemente carnívoros, un chico llamado Cebolla... Y es que todos estos cuentos esconden un tesoro. Son los cuentos que siempre has querido leer.

Visionaries Link and Grant have invited all-new interpretations, explorations, and expansions, taking a genre already rich, strange, and inventive in the extreme and challenging contributors to remake it from the ground up. The result is an anthology that defies even as it defines the genre.

Through the lens of Kelly Link''s vivid imagination, nothing is what it seems, and everything in this collection of short stories deserves a second look. From the multiple award-winning ''The Faery Handbag'', in which a teenager''s grandmother carries an entire village (or is it a man-eating dog?) in her handbag, to the ''The Wrong Grave,'' which tells the story of a sixteen year old boy who digs up the grave of his girlfriend in order to rescue the poetry he buried with her-these stories will put goosebumps on your goosebumps. Kelly Link has a cult following in the United States and now Australians can have their world rocked, too. Link''s stories are funny, scary and full of unexpected insights and skewed perspectives on the world.

A prestigious anthology series, Best American Fantasy is guest edited by Ann & Jeff VanderMeer, with Matthew Cheney serving as the series editor, showcasing the best North American fantasy short fiction from the preceding year.
