In the deft hands of Neil Gaiman, magic is no mere illusion... and anything is possible. In this, Gaiman's first book of short stories, his imagination and supreme artistry transform a mundane world into a place of terrible wonders -- a place where an old woman can purchase the Holy Grail at a thrift store, where assassins advertise their services in the Yellow Pages under ""Pest Control,"" and where a frightened young boy must barter for his life with a mean-spirited troll living beneath a bridge by the railroad tracks. Explore a new reality -- obscured by smoke and darkness, yet brilliantly tangible -- in this extraordinary collection of short works by a master prestidigitator. It will dazzle your senses, touch your heart, and haunt your dreams.

A lot of this content has been published under his other shrot story collections... However its Neil Gaiman so its still really good.

Some Recycled Material

All of the introductions are together at the beginning of the book rather than each introduction being at the beginning of the story that it is introducing. Annoying.

Great stories, interesting introductions, but...

as ever, Neil gaiman's magic is both twisted yet relevant. this collection includes some vibrant retellings of faery classics, poignant in the comparisons to human nature.

Nobody reads Gaiman's stories better, I always enjoy Neil's stories best when he reads them himself.
