Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances by Neil Gaiman
3.0
Anthologies are a mixed bag, and sometimes even anthologies by your favorite authors are no exception. Most of the stories are okay. It's difficult to think of even one of his as a dud, so I'm just going to say those weren't for me.
My favorites are:
The Thing About Cassandra - Really good twist
"The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains" - Classic revenge story of which I am always a fan
Some of the stories in A Calendar of Tales - It's weird, like an anthology within an anthology, loved the book igloo, the brazier, and the genie in particular
The Case of Death and Honey- Some A+ Sherlock Holmes fanfiction.
The Man who Forgot Ray Bradbury- One of my favorite authors talking about one of my other favorite authors. Such a sweet tribute to a magical man who held so many worlds in his mind
Nothing O'Clock- I'm a big fan of the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who, so this one brought back some nostalgia
The Return of the Thin White Duke - Technology Bowie on an adventure. Love it.
Black Dog - A continuation of American Gods. I love that no matter how much weird stuff happens to Shadow, he's constantly surprised by it.
