In Neil Gaiman's hands, magic is not just an illusion, and anything is possible. In this first volume of short stories, published in 1998 and now a classic, his imagination and skill transform the ordinary world into a place full of sinister wonders: where the Holy Grail can be bought in a dime store, where an assassin sells his services in an ad, where a boy bargains for his life with a troll.
Enter this new reality, multiplied by mirrors and obscured by smoke, yet magical and graspable.
