Good bunch of stories, some 4 star quality, other 3 stars. Some were twists on old fairy tales. One, "Black Dog", was about Shadow from American Gods. Others were unique, some quite short & weird.
I'm only giving this 3 stars over all because I think this would have been better read as text. The narration was good, but some of the stories changed perspectives & I didn't realize that immediately. No clues in audio.

Fun collection of Gaiman short stories from a variety of places.... Doctor Who, American Gods, fractured fairy tales, weird little odes to his girlfriend/wife.

Really amazing stuff here... Another Shadow Moon story (thank you!)
Also more Sherlock and even a Doctor Who story so visual you can almost recall it as a program you've seen.
Gaiman is my new go to for a spare moment. ...more

A mixed bag of short fiction and writing streams from Gaiman, in which my favourite was "October Tale".
