Get in Trouble: Stories

Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and hailed as one of the most inventive voices in contemporary fiction, Get in Trouble is a dazzling collection of short stories by Kelly Link. Blending the uncanny with the everyday, Link creates imaginative worlds where ghosts host reality shows, astronauts drift through emotional orbit, suburban slumber parties turn unsettling, and mysterious visitors linger just out of sight. Each story bends the boundaries of genre, weaving elements of fantasy, horror, science fiction, and realism into something wholly original.

Despite their fantastical elements, these nine stories are grounded in keen emotional insight and wry humor. Link’s writing explores loneliness, longing, friendship, fear, and the fragile strength of human connection. Bold, playful, and deeply humane, Get in Trouble showcases a writer at the height of her craft and expands the possibilities of what short fiction can achieve.
