All my last experiences with collection of short stories have been some kind of traumatic events. Not because they were bad, but also not so good. 
 The causes were different. I couldn't grew attached to the characters, to the story itself, sometimes I wished that insted of a short story I could read a whole book about a certain novel. 
 But in this case, I'm so freaking happy. It's the first time that I read something so unique and amazing. First time also when I like all the novels. Everyone of the short stories were amazing, curious, creppy, funny and other beatiful quality in their own way. 
 I was never bored, and I loved everything. 
 Also, this book has an amazing artistic side. The cover is beatiful, actually one of the most batiful I ever see. It's incredible appropriate for the theme and every chapter, aka every novel, has a beatiful title with monsters and magic *.* 
 Just let me say that the title of the first book is a ink post. I mean... that's bloody brillant! 
 Also The mermaid, the manticore and me was really creppy. 
 Some other novel were like dreams, like The cartographer wasps and the anarchist bees. It was really interesting on so many levels. I never, and repeat, never read something like that. 
 The novel that I enjoyed the most were Sunbird, written by Gaiman, and Lady Death. This last short story was reallt simple but I reallt loved it. 
 So, I know that this review kinda sucks, but it's really difficult to talk and write about something you really like without going on a crazy and nosensical bookish rampage. 
 Anyway, as I already wrote, I never read something like that and I suggest this little collection to everyone. Also the stories's choice is also interesting, because the book include some works of authors that I never heard about before but that are also dead. So it's an occassion to discover something new.
