For fans of Neil Gaiman, of course. Which is to say: peculiar characters, magical quests, monsters (human and otherwise), fairy-tales (some borrowed), dark corners, impossible things, and, yes, hungrily waiting for the next story to begin and not end.

Standout stories include:

"Murder Mysteries"

"The Price"

"The Wedding Present"

"Other People"

"October in the Chair"

"The Monarch in the Glen"

"The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains"

"Nothing O'Clock"

Loved this, excerpts from some old favourites and some short stories that were new to me.
Neil Gaiman is my favourite author, I don't think its possible for him to write something that I don't enjoy.
