M Is for Magic by Neil Gaiman
5.0
PECHA KUCHA
M is for Magic is a collection of short stories. There are funny stories like "The Case of the Four and Twenty Blackbirds" which combines nursery rhymes into a noir detective story. There are creepy stories like "October in the Chair" or "Troll Bridge" that have open endings and spooky characters. And there is everything in between where Neil Gaiman uses his fantastic storytelling and whimsical settings and characters to create fresh while familiar-feeling stories that young and old people will enjoy.
I am a total sucker for short stories and for Neil Gaiman, so its no surprise that I loved this book. There are so many great stories and they vary widely from funny, to sad, to creepy, to thought provoking. I found myself laughing out loud while reading "Chivalry" which is something that rarely happens in real life when I read something. This is a book that I definitely want to have on my shelf and reread on a rainy day, and I will definitely be thinking about and talking about these fun stories for years to come.
