A collection of “short fictions and wonders,” including stories, poems and other short pieces, as well as a novella featuring Shadow, the main character from American Gods. For the most part, the stories are weird, creepy, fun horror and dark fantasy. Gaiman includes a lengthy introduction with notes on each piece. I found it interesting that he only wrote a story or poem when specifically commissioned to do so—none of these pieces was written on impulse. All in all, I enjoyed these as much as any of Gaiman’s longer works.
