RaveBookslutLink is a master of the contemporary short story, and her zeitgeist is oddness. Many of the stories in 2001's Stranger Things Happen began with hints of this oddness and built to a crescendo in which the stranger things were not entirely revealed -- more was yet to come, in the white space. But in Get in Trouble, the stranger things have already arrived, and are among us. If many of our culture's most popular stories are post-apocalyptic these days, then Link's are post-strange. The world's axis has already turned. The wolf-men are at the bar, having a drink. The demon lovers have become film stars. The spaceships are already in flight. The trouble we can get into, in such a world? That's where Link has worked her best magic yet.
