If you haven’t read Neil Gaiman and don’t know which book to start, I recommend you begin with Fragile Things as it gives you a taste of the author’s storytelling abilities. His writing is lyrical and whimsy as he tells us dazzling tales with remarkable characters taken from our imagination. I still remember his retelling of Sleeping Beauty in The Sleeper and the Spindle from Rags & Bones where the character twist and the ending are both sinister and brilliant. He can take a children’s fairy tale and rewrite it with a dark and shocking twist that’s neither provoking but terrifying beautiful. What I love about his writing is that it stretches our imagination, taking us to strange new places. From a retelling of Sherlock Holmes and The Study in Scarlet to The Chronicles of Narnia, these are tales scattered in different publications and are compiled into one book.Īs you know I’m a fan of Neil Gaiman. Genre: short stories, poems, fantasy, supernatural, sci-fi, etcĪ collection of short stories and poems (31 of them actually) and these are not your children’s stories.
