Karen Russell brings dark magic to standout story collectionOrange World: EW review
Its hard to know how to define Karen Russells writing; is it fantastical realism? Her stories spill over with ghosts and devils, lost souls and dark magic. But theyre too feral and deeply textured to file under something as simple or straightforward as fantasy.
