Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders

I love how Neil Gaiman writes, I can't help myself. Almost evasive as if he tries to describe the thing just a little on the left and behind what's happening and somehow it works in the end. Usually, I am not really one for short stories but 'Fragile Things' has a bit of everything. Ghosts, aliens, creepy people, wholesome meetings and unholy meetings, you name it. My favourite will forever be 'Instructions' though, which is a surprise to me because I am not really one for poetry. Also something Neil Gaiman knows how to do: Taking people (me) on a journey to fairyland.

Wie das bei Kurzgeschichten so ist... einige sind wirklich toll, einige so gar nicht. Alles in allem aber eine gelungene Mischung, vor allem die längeren Geschichten haben mit gut gefallen.
