Four short story graphic adaptions all of excellent quality. Literary fantasy with interesting turns. Great read. Classic Gaiman.

Not as good as I have come to expect from Neil Gaiman. Beautiful art. Forgettable stories.

Graphic novels aren't my go-to, but I don't mind reading one every once and awhile. This one I mostly picked up for The Problem of Susan, the first of two short stories contained. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but interesting nonetheless. The other short story, October in the Chair, grabbed my attention a lot faster, and I was very invested. I liked the ending personally. All in all, it was an unsettling, but thought provoking collection of stories and poems, and I'm not upset I read it.
