“Monsters come in all shapes and sizes. Some of them are things people are scared of. Some of them are things that look like things people used to be scared of a long time ago. Sometimes monsters are things people should be scared of, but aren’t.”
Neil Gaiman is a master at setting an ambiance. The book was a perfect balance of fear and relief. I think it’s worth pointing out that it is magical realism. And the way memory works in it is truly bittersweet. Do read it... it’s worth it.
