Get in Trouble: Stories

Get in Trouble (2015) by Kelly Link is a collection of nine short stories. Link's stories place ordinary people in strange situations: a girl who looks after a house for mysterious summer visitors, a teenager who meets an older man at a hotel hosting conventions for dentists and superheroes, and an actor known for playing a demon lover who joins a ghost-hunting television show. The stories mix fantasy, horror and science fiction with everyday life.

Margaret Atwood: “Shall it be Alice Munro, Mavis Gallant, or one of a large number of younger practitioners, such as "Birds of America" story writer Lorrie Moore, or Kelly Link ("Get in Trouble"), or Lynn Coady ("Hellgoing")?”
