Magic for Beginners by Kelly Link
4.0
Magic for Beginners is a fun, quirky and clever collection of short stories from Kelly Link. These stories are the perfect light entry into spooky Halloween since they have a touch of the supernatural. We have a story about zombies that is not a "zombie story" but rather a story about a guy's zombie contingency plan. A story about ghosts that is not a "ghost story" but is a story about living people who are married to ghosts. And so on.
I also loved that the first story was locally set and made mention of The Garment District, which is a local store to get all kinds of second hand clothing.
