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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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\/body\u003e","brand":"Random House Trade Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"White Cat, Black Dog | Shaun Link, Kelly; Tan | Paperback | 9780593449974 | New | Fiction 1534964","offer_id":50575126724866,"sku":"1534964","price":37.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81jHMbG5yiL.jpg?v=1790874495","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/white-cat-black-dog","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
