I enjoyed this book in general, but I did find some of the short stories to be nonsensical. For a person who loves short stories, this book is a home run, it’s just not my ideal genre.
That said, many of the stories in this book were incredibly entertaining and thought provoking.

A fun little collection of tales, highlights include the micro Doctor Who story, set during the Matt Smith/Karen Gillian era, my personal favourite, as well as the American Gods Shadow Moon side story, which were most enjoyable.

I think the more I read of Neil Gaiman the more I realize I’m not a huge fan of his writing. While I enjoyed some of the stories in this book, most of them didn’t really grab me or interest me as much as I would have liked. I appreciated that he wrote a little intro for each story which gave some context behind why he wrote it.

Not my favorite Neil Gaiman book, but there were some lovely shorts in there. My favorite was probably the last, a continuation of Shadow's story from "American Gods." Excited for the upcoming show!

I got some definite chills and a couple gasps of surprise while reading so this was a solid grouping of creepy tales. Also the Shadow Moon story was just *chef's kiss* icing on the cake
