Finding seeds of inspiration in the stories of the Brothers Grimm, seventeenth-century French lore, and Scottish ballads, Kelly Link spins classic fairy tales into utterly original stories of seekers—characters on the hunt for love, connection, revenge, or their own sense of purpose.

In “The White Cat’s Divorce,” an aging billionaire sends his three sons on a series of absurd goose chases to decide which child will become his heir. In “The Girl Who Did Not Know Fear,” a professor with a delicate health condition becomes stranded for days in an airport hotel after a conference, desperate to get home to her wife and young daughter, and in acute danger of being late for an appointment that cannot be missed. In “Skinder’s Veil,” a young man agrees to take over a remote house-sitting gig for a friend. But what should be a chance to focus on his long-avoided dissertation instead becomes a wildly unexpected journey, as the house seems to be a portal for otherworldly travelers—or perhaps a door into his own mysterious psyche.

Twisting and turning in astonishing ways, expertly blending realism and the speculative, witty, empathetic, and never predictable—these stories remind us once again of why Kelly Link is incomparable in the realm of short fiction.

surprised me
I absolutely love this shoulder bag! The quality really surprised me and in a good way. The faux leather has such a smooth, polished look and feels soft but still very durable. It honestly gives that high-end vibe without the expensive price tag. The size is perfect for everyday use. It’s roomy enough to fit all my essentials like my phone, wallet, keys, and even some extra items like makeup, but it doesn’t feel bulky or oversized. I also really appreciate the inner pockets because they help keep everything organized instead of just throwing everything into one big space. Another thing I love is how practical it is. The material is water-resistant, which is a huge plus and if anything spills or it gets a little wet, it’s super easy to just wipe clean. It still looks brand new after using it regularly. The design is simple but very stylish, which makes it easy to pair with almost any outfit. I’ve worn it casually, out running errands, and even with more dressed-up looks, and it always works. It’s definitely one of those go-to bags you can grab every day. This bag is a great mix of style, functionality, and durability. I’m really impressed with it and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a cute, everyday handbag!

Perfect Everyday Bag That Goes with Everything
This purse is everything! I love the size, the material, and the fact that it has the perfect amount of compartments to keep everything organized without feeling bulky. It’s officially become my everyday bag. The strap is the perfect length and feels really sturdy. It’s cute enough for casual days but also works for going out to dinner, which I love. I’m always looking for something versatile since I don’t like switching bags all the time, and this one checks all the boxes. The zipper is smooth and feels durable, not flimsy at all. Overall, it feels well made, looks great, and holds up to daily use. Definitely a great find!

Versatile, Elegant, Looks Expensive
Color: Black, Color: Black
I purchased this purse in black and tan, and love them the both. The tan is a true tan (my pic makes it look whiter/lighter); the black is a rich, deep black. The gold hardware is a gilded gold, not brassy gold and looks expensive. I added purse extenders (gold balls on the tan and black hearts on the black) that I purchased separately on Amazon to personalize the look, and am even more in love. The purses themselves are high quality pebbled leather, lined with a deep zippered side pocket on the inside. The zippers zip smoothly and easily. The hardware clasps of the crossbody chain seem sturdy and can be removed or altered easily, allowing for a variety of styles and looks. The crossbody chain lays flat and doesn’t tangle snag, kink, or pinch when worn. I am pleasantly surprised with the overall quality given the incredible price. I highly recommend this purse for its elegance, versatility, and quality.

Real leather!
Color: Black
There is nothing more disappointing than grabbing a favorite (vegan leather/pleather/vinyl/man-made exterior) purse out of the closet only to find that it has started to peel and disintegrate. No more!! From now on, I'm only buying leather, and this purse is real leather! Beautiful dand large enough for cell phone, comb, lipstick, glasses, and credit cards/cash, with a design that can transition from daytime to night. This purse is a winner!
