Stranger Things Happen available as a free download
Stranger Things Happen was Kelly Link's first short story collection. It was friggin' brilliant.
Now, Link has a new collection out (which I'll be buying at worldcon), and is offering the previous one as a free download under a Creative Commons License.
Everyone should get it. And read it. And then buy it. And then buy the new one.
