White Cat, Black Dog

Average rating4
Kelly Link might well be one of our great living authors. The first story (“The White Cat’s Divorce”) and the last (“Skinder’s Veil,” which I read first in Ellen Datlow’s excellent Shirley Jackson tribute anthology, and from which this book gets its Black Dog), are among the best she’s ever written. “Prince Hat Underground” also got me hard here. Nervous to get to her novel, as she works so well in shorter formats, but it’s the only thing I’ve got left of hers to read for now!

FUn fairy tale retelling-- my favorite was probably The White Cat's Divorce. But I think Get in Trouble still has my heart!
