I read this short story in Fragile Things. I read this back in April and I'm just putting up the the single review. To be honest, I don't remember a whole lot from this. I wasn't really into it, but it was very creepy.
I did read that this started out as a dream Neil Gaiman had and it haunted him and he eventually put this into a story. It's also been made into a graphic story, but I haven't see that story, just read it as a short story.

The title story is Gaiman's account of a spooky late-night encounter in a cafe (which has been dramatised); the second is about Alan Moore; and the third is a one-pager by Buckingham. Perhaps a little more refective on the nature of the artist's work than sometimes.

The title story is an efficient little tale of fate and ghastly appetites, good for setting a mood as October approaches. The affectionately satirical take on the cult of Alan Moore was cute too.
