spacegirl (Germany) (2008/10/09): I didn't like this book so much. I only enjoyed reading the last two or three stories. The others are first of all not so good or even worse fake Lovecraft stories. Come on now I know how good an author Neil Gaiman actually is after reading American Gods, but most of the stories in this book really disappointed me.
If you're a real fan go ahead and mooch it.
But if you are just looking for Neil Gaiman books, know that this is far from a good example. Read American Gods and you'll be more satisfied.
