Unnatural Creatures is a short story collection put together by Neil Gaiman. He shares his love of mythical creatures, magical characters, and lifting up other authors.
Mostly this book has introduced me to some authors I'm excited to read more of like Nnedi Okorafor and Nalo Hopkinson. A lot of these stories are creepy or unsettling, while others are more whimsical, like the Alice in Wonderland like romp "The Cockatoucan, Or, Great Aunt Willoughby" by E. Nesbit.
Like all collections, some stories were really good and others not so much, but all in all it was a good read.
