I got this from Neil Gaiman's Humble Bundle. Gaiman describes it as his "worst short story" but this was even better than some I've read, heh. A silly delight.

Last night I bought the Gaiman rarities Humble Bundle. Today, I read this. Neil describes it as his worst short story ever but, honestly, I quite enjoyed it. It's very silly and made me laugh; that's good enough for me. Maybe this is Neil at his worst, but that's still a lot better than some things I've read.

I have to admit, the "devious plot" gave me a good chuckle. It's definitely embarrassing to know someone so talented wrote something so... shlocky, though.

This story was so incredibly bad it became hilarious. I even laughed out loud occasionally, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars. Solely for the 15 minutes of entertainment it brought me!

Gaiman describes it as "my worst short story ever... It misfires in so many ways." It really isn't very good.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Can't. Stop. Laughing.
This is SO bad. Seriously, I understand why Neil Gaiman would never want that in any book. But then again, it gave me this great laughing fit that every person should have at least once in a while. So thanks for that Neil!
(This was also one of the books I got for my Humble Bundle donation.)

The worst short story Neil Gaiman ever wrote, as described by Gaiman himself in the introduction. Originally ran in Knave magazine and was never collected, on purpose, but Gaiman allowed it to be published as an ebook for the Humble Bundle sale.
And yes, it's pretty bad.
