Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions
by Neil Gaiman
Everything that emerges from Neil Gaiman's brain simply blows me away, and this collection of stories was no different.
What I really loved about this book was the unique telling of each tale. No two stories are told the same way, and Gaiman has the enviable ability to change into different narrators in order to serve his purpose. Gaiman states in the introduction that the stories were written at different points in his life and it's incredibly interesting to see how his writing has changed throughout the years.
With fairy tales turned upside down, monsters, mythology and real life exposed, there's isn't a single story in Smoke and Mirrors that won't leave you craving more. I highly recommend this book to Gaiman fans, as well as those who are just looking for a good read that will challenge them to think about the world they live in and the stories they grew up with.
