I'm bored and list my nine favorite English fiction books, day 5: I like all of Kelly Link's short story collection, but I like Pretty Monsters best. On the one hand, it doesn't have Two Houses, but it does have Magic for Beginners, The Specialist's Hat, and The Constable of Abal. AND the titular story. Link writes the weirdest, most evocative short stories for anyone old enough to handle them, and you should read all of them.
