Some mysterious fae-like creatures called only the "summer people". A fake ghost boyfriend. Ghost stories. Superheroes. Kelly Link's newest short story collection is inhabited by all kinds of fantastical things. These are worlds in which the fantastical are completely normal. 
 I've just been getting into short stories this past year. I've still been battling my attention span in regards to them. This is the first collection in which I have not been anticipating the end of the story. I wanted them to keep going. I could live in these universes. 
 This is not my first experience with Link's work. I read her contribution to the YA holiday collection My True Love Gave to Me. I enjoyed her story in that fine, but it wasn't my favorite in that book. These were all great. Fun and fantastical. There was a lot going on under the surface, but they were still compulsively readable. The tone was spot-on. 
 Thank you to Random House and netgalley for this digital ARC. This short story collection is available Feb. 10th so get your calendars marked!
