In the deft hands of Neil Gaiman, magic is no mere illusion... and anything is possible. In this, Gaiman's first book of short stories, his imagination and supreme artistry transform a mundane world into a place of terrible wonders -- a place where an old woman can purchase the Holy Grail at a thrift store, where assassins advertise their services in the Yellow Pages under ""Pest Control,"" and where a frightened young boy must barter for his life with a mean-spirited troll living beneath a bridge by the railroad tracks. Explore a new reality -- obscured by smoke and darkness, yet brilliantly tangible -- in this extraordinary collection of short works by a master prestidigitator. It will dazzle your senses, touch your heart, and haunt your dreams.

Elsker gaiman, men all innledende tekst om de ulike fortellingene gjør det vanskelig å få med seg når den faktiske historien begynner. Enkelte innledninger er jo også «innledning til en ny innledning».

Flott samling av eventyrlige og magiske historier.

Never have I loved a writer more. Neil's writing is addictive and terrifying and unsettling and absolutely magical.
