In her newest short story collection, Link offers up some intriguing glimpses into new worlds, including a few that include superheroes as just another sector of the population, one in which teenage girls obsessed with ancient Egyptian culture have convinced their parents to build pyramids for them after death, and one full of pocket universes. Perhaps my favorite was the Bradbury-inspired "Two Houses," which centers on the crew of a long-range spaceship telling ghost stories. While I wasn't quite ready for the sci-fi-heavy stories, I enjoyed them. Those who enjoyed George Saunders' Tenth of December will like this collection too.
