After reading this, I wish Mr Gaiman had more than two collections.
The stories are neat. Some of them weren't as appealing as others, but even then the ideas behind them were fascinating.
I couldn't give a real favorite, because they were all very different. The stories based on fable and fairy tales were amazing, mostly because I've always been a fan of retold fairy stories.
Truly enjoyable, and a quick read.

I think the whole effect of his personality is even worse when you're reading a collection of his short stories, because it's just a whole lot of Neil Gaiman
He's just so in love with his own cleverness............. but it's not actually that clever, much of the time it's just regressive tropes from the 90s. Like he has this whole short story about Snow White where Snow White is a sexually aggressive child vampire and it's basically Fledgling but worse
Like when he gets too in love with himself
And you remember he's a white guy
