Fantastic, fantastical stories from the favourite author of a host of other authors

Weird, wicked, spooky and delicious, Pretty Monsters is a book of tall tales to keep you up all night. 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 with a sick sense of humour.

This edition also features a brand new story, 'The Cinderella Game'.

"Link's stories play in a place few writers go, a netherworld between literature and fantasy, Alice Munro and JK Rowling." - * Time *

"Has plenty to tangle the imagination and leaves some endings tantalisingly hanging in the dark air." - * Daily Mail *

"Against a backdrop of recognisable Americana, anything might happen, and usually does." - * The Observer *

"brimming with singular observations and arresting takes on veryday lives, characters and situations...it's a rollercoaster read" - * Books for Keeps *
