Between the newly-signed bailout’s bazillion dollar price tag and Gawker’s layoffs and the 159,000 jobs we lost in September, everybody could use some good news.
How about a free book? Small Beer Press just posted a free digital download of Kelly Link’s winning collection of short stories, Magic for Beginners. It’s a whole book of short stories–a bailout for your monthly literary budget.
“To celebrate the publication of Kelly’s new collection, Pretty Monsters, most of Kelly’s previous collection Magic for Beginners is now available as a free download in various completely open formats with no Digital Rights Management (DRM) strings attached.”
