The National Book Foundation, using a slightly different formula, said she was one of the five best writers under thirty-five. Ben Marcus called it a "miracle." The New Yorker included Russell in their list of twenty best writers under forty. It was a style reminiscent of Kelly Link and George Saunders (seasoned with a large handful of Jonathan Safran Foer-esque open hearted earnestness), and it garnered her terrible amounts of praise. She explored a cast of characters marooned between opposites (lonely vampires, wolfish girls, and monstrous fathers), by doling out equal doses of exceeding silliness, poetic prose, and true-blooded legend. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves (2006), Karen Russell demonstrated an affinity for absurdity and myth.
