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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwisting 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"listenToAClip\" name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dotters Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47207985676581,"sku":"9780593449950","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47207985709349,"sku":"9780593449974","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2167\/5269\/products\/9780593449950.jpg?v=1680104995","url":"https:\/\/dottersbooks.com\/products\/white-cat-black-dog-stories-by-kelly-link","provider":"Dotters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
