Critic reviews

"Gaiman has a deft touch for surprise and inventiveness, and there are inspired moments." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Gaiman again proves himself a perverse romantic, heir not only to Poe and Baudelaire but to the breathless Pre-Raphaelites....The collection also boasts lush prose...and a winning faith in the enchantment of stories. Expect the unexpected. Then savor the luscious chills." ( Kirkus)

No one explores other modes of being like Le Guin, but no one weaves other modes of existence into our reality than Gaiman. Brilliant.

Brilliant collection of small and short stories. Typical Gaiman. Not for the faint hearted and always leaves an unanswered question, but would you have it any other way?

Nothing better than Neil reading his own works

As always this collection of Neil Gaiman stories is well worth the credit and time. The stories are small delights, and Neil is an excellent reader of his own work (something which can't be said of many authors). I wholeheartedly recommend this.

Delightful
