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'.
Kelly Link is the author of two previous collections, Stranger Things Happen and Magic for Beginners. Her stories have won three Nebula awards, a Hugo and a World Fantasy Award. She was born in Miami, Florida, and once won a free trip around the world by answering the question, 'Why do you want to go around the world?' ('Because you can't go through it.')
Link lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she and her husband, Gavin J. Grant, run Small Beer Press and play ping-pong. In 1996 they started the occasional zine Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet.
