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.

Fun collection of short stories. Some good, some very good and a few stinkers.
