Unnatural Creatures: Stories Selected by Neil Gaiman by Neil Gaiman
4.0
Fairly enjoyable, but uneven...
I love Neil Gaiman and looked forward to reading a series of stories he chose as unusual and interesting. Some of them were quite good... bringing a mix of the fantastic, the unexpected, and a desire to read more. There were some, however, that just missed the mark entirely (in my opinion) - The Beast of Bastardville almost had me ready to stop reading the book entirely.
All-in-all, if you are a Gaiman fan, read his story collections. If you want some odd stories about beasts and don't mind a few stinkers, this book will fit the bill.
