The nine exquisite examples in this collection show her in full command of her formidable powers. In \"The Summer People,\" a young girl in rural North Carolina serves as uneasy caretaker to the mysterious, never-quite-glimpsed visitors who inhabit the cottage behind her house. In \"I Can See Right Through You,\" a middle-aged movie star makes a disturbing trip to the Florida swamp where his former on- and off-screen love interest is shooting a ghost-hunting reality show. In \"The New Boyfriend,\" a suburban slumber party takes an unusual turn, and a teenage friendship is tested, when the spoiled birthday girl opens her big present: a life-size animated doll. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hurricanes, astronauts, evil twins, bootleggers, Ouija boards, iguanas, \u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Oz, \u003c\/i\u003e superheroes, the Pyramids . . . These are just some of the talismans of an imagination as capacious and as full of wonder as that of any writer today. But as fantastical as these stories can be, they are always grounded by sly humor and an innate generosity of feeling for the frailty--and the hidden strengths--of human beings. In \u003ci\u003eGet in Trouble, \u003c\/i\u003ethis one-of-a-kind talent expands the boundaries of what short fiction can do. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eGet in Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Ridiculously brilliant . . .
