Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions
by Neil Gaiman
I didn't know that this was a collection of short stories when I picked it up from my TBR list. I don't think I would have picked it if I had, because I'm not usually fond of short stories. I was actually surprised the average rating came out as high as it did (I rated each short story separately then used the total to calculate an average). The collection includes some poems, which I also didn't rate, because I'm even less fond of poems than short stories. Interestingly, I did enjoy the longer short stories more than the shorter ones. (To reinforce my preferences.)
I haven't read much Neil Gaiman yet. He is certainly very creative and a great writer, however sometimes he can just go a little too far into the dark and violent side for my taste. Some of the things he comes up with! That said, this collection also included some gems that I really enjoyed (even though I wished they were longer). So I'll probably persevere in reading more of his work.
