Summary
Here is a stunning collection of short stories by the acclaimed fantasy writer. The distinctive genius of Neil Gaiman has been championed by writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King.
These stories will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination, and move you to the very depths of your soul. This extraordinary compilation reveals one of the world's most gifted storytellers at the height of his powers.
Critic reviews
"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)

Neil Gaiman, what a babe
The only thing better than reading Neil Gaiman is having him read to you.
I couldn't recommend it more, the short stories are the perfect length to complete on my commute, making my day a lot brighter

Thoroughly enjoyable
Great stories and great narration by the author.
The stories are mostly a little on the dark side, which isn’t my usual choice, but I love the imagery and strange places and characters I was taken to in Neil’s writing.

Delightful
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.

Eclectic and variable
Great collection of oddities displaying a twisted and devious mind, and great writing skills. Really enjoyed (most of) it.

confusing
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Not really, in reality I skipped some stories.
Would you be willing to try another book from Neil Gaiman? Why or why not?
I have heard several and this does not rank high. I enjoyed the 1st story about sherlock holmes and the strange and weird Mr Alice and Mr Smith but the rest seemed to be beautifully worded rambling
If this book were a film would you go see it?
The sherlock holmes story yes and the Mr smith book but that would never get into film with that plot detail
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed about 20% or less of these stories.
