The Neil Gaiman Reader: Selected Fiction by Neil Gaiman
5.0
If you’re a Gaiman fan, you need to read these stories. If you’re not a Gaiman fan, sit down, choose a story at random and become a Gaiman fan. This is an almost perfect collection of his work to date.
If you sit and read this cover-to-cover, it’s fascinating to see his style grow, adapt and develop with time. However, each piece is so wonderfully self-contained that I know I will find myself sitting down at various points in the future to pick out random stories to re-read. There’s quirky, amusing 2-pagers, there’s deeply emotional, hard-hitting drama, and there’s everything in between. I will treasure this collection for a long time.
