Get in Trouble
Kelly Link · 2015
The ordinary slips sideways into the uncanny. Pocket universes, ghost boyfriends. Link makes weird feel inevitable.
The case against
Link builds each story toward a door and then declines to open it. Pocket universes, demon lovers, superhero conventions: the setups are immaculate and the endings dissolve mid-gesture, trusting atmosphere to do a conclusion's work. Read three in a row and the refusals start to feel like a policy, not a discovery.
