Kelly Link recommends

The Truth about Celia (2003) Kevin Brockmeier "Imagine I'm standing beside you in the bookstore. I'm putting this book in your hands. I loved The Truth About Celia: you should buy this book, take it home, and read it at once."	Mortal Love (2004) Elizabeth Hand "You don't so much read this novel as drink it down, like absinthe."	The Keeper (2006) Sarah Langan "THE KEEPER kept me up, late into the night...I'm hoping for a whole shelf of novels by Langan. "
The Serial Garden: The Complete Armitage Family Stories (2008) (Armitage Family) Joan Aiken "The best kind of writer, strange and spooky and surprising, never sentimental or whimsical."
