Magic for Beginners is Kelly Link’s eagerly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to her beloved debut, Stranger Things Happen. “Cumulatively weirder and wiser” (The Believer), this new story collection riffs on zombies, marriage, witches, superheroes, haunted convenience stores, and weekly apocalyptic poker parties, among other things.
"Link's stories are delightfully playful.... She creates palimpsests of secret passages, hidden doors, quiet pulses of deeper meaning.... The characters are memorable, real people placed in impossibly strange circumstances, sometimes of their own making." -The Boston Globe
