Kelly Link's first collection in more than a decade proves she hasn't lost her uncanny ability to insert weirdness into banality. Her settings and story lines often follow conventional paths, but along the way the reader is liable to encounter surprising oddities that tilt reality just enough to be unsettling. Even her exotic settings are apt to be twisted into something entirely new. Take, for instance, the ghost story "Two Houses," set in a crumbling mansion...only the mansion is a hologram projected in a spaceship on a decades-long voyage.
