A review by pedanther
A Fall of Stardust by Neil Gaiman

lighthearted mysterious fast-paced

3.75

The thing about the short story, which is titled "Wall: A Prologue", is that it does feel like a prologue: it kind of works as a story in itself, but there's clearly another entire story following it that we don't get to hear about. I have a suspicion (or possibly half a memory of being told once) that it really is the prologue to a novel that Gaiman never got around to writing the rest of; the fact that it first saw print in a collection of unpublished bits and bobs for charity, and not in a regular short story form, is suggestive.

The poems are all fun.
