M Is for Magic by Neil Gaiman

4.0

Gaiman continues to revel in his ability to put the magic, mysterious, and horrifying in the commonplace and mundane. My favorite stories were "October in the Chair" in which months of the year tell a touching coming of age story, "Chivalry" (a new twist on the Grail myth featuring an old woman and her antique collection), "How To Talk to Girls at Parties" (I didn't learn how to do that), and "Sunbird" ( a unique Phoenix myth with food porn). There's also an excerpt from his Newberry Award winning novel Graveyard Book which whetted my appetite for more magical adventures in that world. And the final poem has some of the best advice a young person can receive.
