Kelly Link short stories often have a more open - ended feel compared to many other collections. Her stories don't always wrap up neatly with all the answers provided. This leaves room for the reader's own interpretation and imagination, which is different from some collections that strive for a more conclusive and definitive ending.
Compared to many other short story collections, Kelly Link's works are more genre - bending. While some collections might stick to a single genre like pure horror or pure romance, Link's stories defy such easy categorization. Her stories are more like a wild ride through different fictional realms.
