Today Scribner published a new edition of The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin, with a new introduction by Kelly Link which you can read on LitHub.

Kelly and Matsudu Aoko are one of three pairs of writers taking part in the Japan Foundation’s series “Writing to Meet You: Letters for Secluded Times.” Tsumura Kikuko & Roddy Doyle and Ono Masatsugu & Bryan Washington make up the other pairs.

The letters are originally published in Japanese in Subaru magazine and then on the website one month later.

Kelly has a new story — “Skinder’s Veil” — in Ellen Datlow’s new anthology When Things Get Dark: Stories inspired by Shirley Jackson. Signed copies are available from Book Moon.

Kelly contributed to the 20th anniversary anthology of Diagram:

a tarot deck: an exquisite literary object and a usable tarot deck usable for divination. As with our 10th anniversary poker deck, our contributors randomly selected cards and created new works in the spirit of the cards they drew. Unlike most of our anthologies, this features all new work and celebrates 20 damn years of publishing DIAGRAM, one of the oldest (and best we daresay) literary journals around.

The 20th anniversary deck features 78 tarot-sized (2.75″ x 4.75″) cards in the four suits (wands, swords, cups, pentacles) and the major arcana in a custom box.

In the latest episode of his eponymous podcast, this week LeVar Burton reads Kelly’s story “The Specialist’s Hat.” If you’re ready, take a deep breath . . .
