In his new book of short stories, Neil Gaiman tries to pull off our masks and reveal our vulnerable, true selves. His subtle humor and chilling imagination result in short stories that we want to read again and again.
The story Black Dog, which has not been read anywhere else, takes place in the world of American Gods and continues the adventures of Shadow. The rest of the collection is equally magical: Gaiman explores the realm of human feelings, experiences and experiences by parading many styles and genres - horror and ghost stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fairy tales and poetry. Along with a short story Ocean at the end of the road, an old Sherlock Holmes mystery, a small prose series inspired by social media and twenty more writings, the volume is a worthy match for Mirrors and Smoke and Fragile Things.
