About the book

Neil Gaiman's extraordinary Fragile Things, from the bestselling author of The Ocean at the End of the Lane and American Gods, reveals one of the world's most gifted storytellers at the height of his powers, and harnesses the Gothic power of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber to the storytelling genius of Stephen King. 'The collections also boasts lush prose . . . and a winning faith in the enchantment of stories' Kirkus Reviews

The distinctive genius of Neil Gaiman has been championed by writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King. With THE SANDMAN Neil Gaiman created one of the most sophisticated, intelligent and influential graphic novel series of our time. Now Gaiman has produced FRAGILE THINGS, his second collection of short fiction. These stories will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the very depths of your soul.

Weirdness and Feelings and The Not-Quite-Right
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.

Obwohl ich Neil Gaimans Bücher eigentlich sehr mag, haben mich die meisten der Kurzgeschichten in "Zerbrechliche Dinge" erstaunlich kalt gelassen. Dafür war das Wiedersehen mit Shadow Moon aus "American Gods" ein echtes Highlight.

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.
