Finding seeds of inspiration in the stories of the Brothers Grimm, seventeenth-century French lore, and Scottish ballads, Kelly Link spins classic fairy tales into utterly original stories of seekers—characters on the hunt for love, connection, revenge, or their own sense of purpose.

In “The White Cat’s Divorce,” an aging billionaire sends his three sons on a series of absurd goose chases to decide which child will become his heir. In “The Girl Who Did Not Know Fear,” a professor with a delicate health condition becomes stranded for days in an airport hotel after a conference, desperate to get home to her wife and young daughter, and in acute danger of being late for an appointment that cannot be missed. In “Skinder’s Veil,” a young man agrees to take over a remote house-sitting gig for a friend. But what should be a chance to focus on his long-avoided dissertation instead becomes a wildly unexpected journey, as the house seems to be a portal for otherworldly travelers—or perhaps a door into his own mysterious psyche.

Twisting and turning in astonishing ways, expertly blending realism and the speculative, witty, empathetic, and never predictable—these stories remind us once again of why Kelly Link is incomparable in the realm of short fiction.

Excellent Structural Privacy Barrier / Zero Assembly Required
Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel
I purchased this 6-panel partition to establish a dedicated recovery zone and create a hard visual perimeter in my room. It serves exactly the function I needed without any unnecessary complexity. ​The structural execution is excellent. It effectively blocks out light and breaks up the room geometry perfectly. Despite being lightweight enough to reposition rapidly, it remains completely stable once anchored in place. ​The best part is the zero-bloat deployment—it was ready to use immediately out of the box with absolutely no complex assembly or external hardware required. Highly recommended.

Nice!!
Color: Chocolate, Size: 6-Panel
I love this divider. There was no set up at all, simply remove it out of the box, that's it. Thank you for making this easy. The divider is of great quality and easy to store away when not in use.

Looks ok if you don't look too close. Not likely to last long.
Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel, Color: Light Beige, Size: 6-Panel
Got here fast, which was great since our company "upgraded" its video conferencing software and virtual backgrounds no longer work. But I can only describe the item as rickety and sloppily built. See photos: visible gaps in the weave that show the frame through. Chewed up screws in the hinges look like someone took them out and put them back in several times... or salvaged them from another unit. On the whole, it doesn't seem sturdy. I'll be folding it up and re-deploying it several times a week, so I'll be surprised if it will still stand up in a year. Not a good value for the price, really, except that demand on these right now has prices pushed upward. I'd be happy enough if I'd spent $39.99 rather than over a hundred.
