Dark, spooky, old magic that toys at the fringes with nature, gods, and ghosts. The audio version with original music is wonderfully atmospheric and strange. The reader is only ever given just enough information, a hint of the magic and myth beneath the story, a glimse through the mist.

The book was great. Not my cup of tea, but it was great.
The art/comic sections were a great addition and made the read more fun.

Audiobook was incredibly done. Music was A++ and Neil Gaiman does a fantastic job narrating.
I enjoyed this story but there’s a rape that’s totally unnecessary for such a short story. Like come on, *Neil*.
