If you're looking for an excellent, varied read that is fictional and fascinating, this is it! Obviously fans of Neil Gaiman will love this book. What I enjoyed most about it is that it feels like a little collection made especially for fans of his work. It is dark, fantastic, weird, and exciting - all traits that many of Gaiman's works already share. I don't usually like reading short stories because I prefer the journeys that novels offer, however, this book is so fun to read that I found it difficult to put down. I truly enjoyed it, and I look forward to reading it again and again.
