Award-winning author Kelly Link's debut collection takes fairy tales
and cautionary tales, dictators and extraterrestrials, amnesiacs and
honeymooners, revenants and readers alike, on a voyage into new,
strange, and wonderful territory. The girl detective must go to the
underworld to solve the case of the tap-dancing bank robbers. A
librarian falls in love with a girl whose father collects artificial noses. A
dead man posts letters home to his estranged wife. Two women named
Louise begin a series of consecutive love affairs with a string of cellists.
A newly married couple become participants in an apocalyptic beauty
pageant. Sexy blond aliens invade New York City. A young girl learns
how to make herself disappear. These eleven extraordinary stories are
quirky, spooky, and smart. They all have happy endings. Every story
contains a secret prize. Each story was written especially for you.
Stories from Stranger Things Happen have won the Nebula, Tiptree,
and World Fantasy Awards. Stranger Things Happen was a Salon Book
of the Year, one of the Village Voice's 25 Favorite Books of 2001, and
was nominated for the Firecracker Alternative Book Award.
Stranger Things Happen is being released as a Free Download under
Creative Commons license on July 1, 2005, to celebrate the publication
of Kelly Link's second collection, Magic for Beginners. If all goes as

planned Magic for Beginners will be released on September 15, 2005
