i love neil gaiman’s writing style. this is a revelation i had last year then forgot then remembered again in december (?) when i read the ocean at the end of the lane. and i read this book almost exclusively on transit (a bus ride that took 2.5 hours when it should have been under 1, the train to galway, and then finished it on the train back) which i think is fun. anyway i really enjoyed it! i didn’t like all the stories but ah that’s just the way it is. my favs were the goldfish pool and other stories, chivalry, the white road, shoggoth’s old peculiar, and babycakes. oh and the wedding present (the story in the introduction)
