This may have been edited by Neil Gaiman... But its claer it wasn't written by him! Variations in quality but ultimately so so.
Maybe I would have liked it better if I'd read it after reading thr while Sandman stories instead of just the first few volumes. "Splatter" by Will Shetterley was my favourite. I also liked the super short Hungarian fairy/folk tale "Valoslag and Elet" by Steven Brust. Susanna Clarke's "Stopp'd Yard Clock" was well written but didn't appreciate it as much as I was flagging my the end. "The Mender of Broken Dreams" (Nancy Collins) and "Extra Smidgen of Eternity" (Robert Rodi) were decent too.
Did not like or finish "The Writers Child". Rest of them I don't really remember. Overall, the collection was okay but nothing to write home about.
