Unnatural Creatures: Stories Selected by Neil Gaiman by Neil Gaiman
2022- A refreshingly light read despite its high page count. Each short story quickly create an established universe to hook you in. This is a great example of reading for just sheer enjoyment- these stories are eclectic and self contained story but the book leaves you overall with a great, simple appreciation.
In general I don’t like to rate books as each have their own merits but for a short story collection I wanted to make a story tier list. All our worth the read but there definitely is disparity in substance and world creation:
A tier- The Griffin, The Cockatoucan, Prismatica, The Compleat Werewolf, Come Lady Death
B tier- The Cartographer Wasps, Sunbird, The Flight of The Horse, The Smile on The Face
C tier- Ozoima The Wicked, The Sage of Theare, Or All The Seas
D tier- (—••—), Gabriel Ernest, Moveable Beast, The Manticore
