M Is for Magic by Neil Gaiman
4.0
This is a collection of short stories that are appropriate for young adult readers. They are perfectly accessible to adults as well.
I read many of these stories in Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things, but it is a strong collection and well worth reading again. My particular favorites are "October in the Chair," "Chivalry" and "The Price."
The book ends with a long story, or short novella, about Bod Owens. I know from Mr. Gaiman's blog that this story, "The Witch's Headstone," is part of an upcoming book. It was very enjoyable, and I look forward to reading it as well.
In short, M is for Magic is an excellent collection for newcomers to Gaiman's work, or for a young reader that enjoys a bit of a scare. If you are already a fan, I would probably give it a miss - you have these stories already.
