I have always wanted to like Neil Gaiman's more than I really managed, but some of these short stories genuinely made a believer out of me. And some of them...didn't. The problem with anthologies is how much of a mixed bag they often are. There were stories in here I would absolutely have given fo...
I'm a Neil Gaiman fanboy. I've loved all of his novels and a great deal of his short fiction, but this collection was marred with either lackluster outings or poems I couldn't enjoy because I personally don't understand what makes them poems. The latter is my own fault, and I do not hold it against ...
I just recently discovered Neil Gaiman a few months ago. The first book I experienced of his was The Graveyard Book, and I listened to the audiobook where he’s the reader. I was hooked after that. I wanted to get my hands on anything the man had written. My experience with him has been pretty positi...
Smoke and Mirrors - Neil Gaiman I'm not the greatest fan of short stories but Neil Gaiman is one of the few writers whose shorts I'm interested in. Feel free to make your own jokes. As with any collection, enjoyment varies: I'm not a big fan of the prose poems and I skipped through a couple of sto...
Part of my Neil Gaiman backlist catch up for The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Smoke and Mirrors is a collection of short fiction and poetry. From poetry to sci-fi stories to a short passage written for a Christmas card he sent out one year, these are short works that Gaiman has usually published el...
Confession: I skipped most of the poems/hanging line texts and just read the stories. My favorite was Snow, Glass, Apples. Like, of course. I also liked Murder Mysteries and Chivalry. Also, Tastings.
The storytelling is excellent, the technique as strong as ever. I just found myself not caring for the darker, grittier short stories of Neil Gaiman. I think I prefer what he does in [b:Fragile Things|16788|Fragile Things|Neil Gaiman|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348315900s/16788.jpg|3262727]. So tw...
Fantastic collection of Neil Gaiman's stories from various anthologies and magazines. The stories run the gamut from fantastical to horrifying to surreal. I was especially pleased to rediscover "Troll Bridge" and "The White Road," old favorites from my teen years, and I truly loved "Murder Mysteries...
I've always liked short stories. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for anything longer or heavier. Which makes me glad that Neil likes to write them.Changes was truly frightening and Snow, Glass, Apples was a much more horrifying retelling of Snow White than the one we are used to. I loved both. He...
