People are out on this earth for a purpose, but not everyone finds theirs right away or sometimes, ever. Neil Gaiman found his true purpose early on in his life and we, his lucky readers, get to reap the rewards of that. A fantastic collection of stories from one of the world's most unique and creative storytellers! 
 One of my favorite things about Gaiman is that he never does anything in half-measures. The title, stories, dedications and artwork for this story collection were absolutely spot on. His introductions are always welcoming and he always invites EVERYONE to the party. 
 If you are an obsessive Gaiman fan, you may have already come across most of the stories collected here. Come back anyways for the marvelous invention and intention of each and stay for the final original story, Black Dog, a mix of ancient myth, faerie story and modern day revenge! Just excellent!!
