The Wrong Grave

with decorations by Shaun Tan

A collection of weird short stories that will have you hooked from the very first line, every time.

A boy returns to his girlfriend’s grave to retrieve poems he placed in her coffin, but is she pleased to see him? Wizards build high towers and command those living below, but no one knows what their magic is good for. A grandmother keeps a village, or is it a vicious dog, in her handbag.

… … … … … … …

You can get a taste of Kelly’s unique style and fantastical story-telling by visiting Jelly Ink Press, where you can download free stories from her previous collection, Magic for Beginners.

Praise for The Wrong Grave:

‘Almost certainly not human. I believe she is a story-telling elemental who has unearthly powers that she uses to create wondrous and deeply fascinating tales.’

Garth Nix

‘The literary descendant of Jorge Luis Borges and Franz Kafka.’

Audrey Niffenegger

‘Intoxicating.’

Alice Sebold

‘A sorceress.’

New York Times Book Review

‘A new collection by Kelly Link—and once more, for a little while, the world is worth saving.’
