M Is for Magic
by Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman tells us ten stories, some based in fairytale or legend, others on science fiction, and others on childhood fears. The tales succeed in capturing the reader's imagination, and I'm happy to recommend this collection to any Gaiman fans.
A few critiques: almost all of the stories in this anthology are also in "Smoke and Mirrors". I don't know how authors usually go about making collections, but I found it annoying that so many of the stories had already been covered in another book.
Also, for a short story collection, "M is for Magic" seemed rather short. Not *standard* short, at 260 pages, just short for an anthology. I found it in the YA section, so maybe that's why. Anyways, it was still an enjoyable book and it wet my appetite for more Gaiman.
