Interesting collection of short stories, written in a "slacker" style. A great cover - a hippy girl looking very much like (my favourite) Da Vinci's portrait "Lady with the Ermine". The zombie stories stand out well, The Hortlak - with a veterinary nurse who takes dogs out for very special rides in her car, Some Zombie Contingency Plans, also good, and others that are good, okay, surreal and sometimes a little sinister. Sometimes, to be honest, my mind drifted off whilst reading some of them - not sure if this is in part due to the seemingly casual and slightly random style of writing. But either way, I think a wandering conversation with Kelly Link in person would make a train journey more interesting:)
