Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

One of the best collections of short fiction and fantasy. As usual, Neil Gaiman crafts a unique world with just a handful of words and allows you to watch.

I've never read through a collection of short stories and poems before. This was a delightful introduction, however. These stories are 100% Gaiman - complete with all the complexities, nuances and mannerisms you'd expect from him. I especially enjoyed journeying through Goliath, Closing Time, and The Monarch of the Glen (which is a novella squeal to American Gods). If you haven't read Gaiman before and you're after a nice intro that showcases all facets of his writing style, pick this collection up and be entertained every step of the way.
