Hmm...I might try some more of his novels before reading this. Thanks for the review. .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..The Girl Next Door – Elizabeth Noble =-.

Some of the Sandman graphic novel series was disturbingly dark and some sexual, too. Just recently I read/ listened to “The Graveyard Book,” which is YA (from the library). It was fantastic. I’m going to get it now so I can read it again on Halloween

And I thought Gaiman writes only for youngsters.I haven’t had a chance to read even a single Gaiman’s book.
I like reading short stories when I am done with a big book.Completely my type, apart from the poetries..they are tangent to the circle !
Great review for all the stories.

I've only read one short story from this collection--the one that combined Sherlock Holmes with HP Lovecraft (can't remember the title atm). It was pretty good. I completely understand you being thrown off by the sex--for some reason I do not expect that in a Neil Gaiman book. I was totally blindsided by it in Stardust. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Angel Month Wrap-Up =-.

This sounds interesting, but the poetry would be over my head too. .-= Kathy´s last blog ..Wondrous Words Wednesday =-.

Wow, that doesn't sound much like the Gaiman I have read- I've read three of his books and have Graveyard Book on my shelf to read next. Though that is YA, so don't think it will be very full of sex or graphic stuff. I think short story collections can go really well or just fall flat. Seems like this one is the latter, unfortunately. But Gaiman is brilliant! .-= Aarti´s last blog ..Review: Red Seas Under Red Skies =-.

I haven't heard too much about this one until now. This collection definitely sounds like quite a variety. I've had the chance to read two Gaiman books so far and they were so different from one another. He's got such range when it comes to writing. Thanks for your great review, Meghan! .-= Literary Feline´s last blog ..Review: The Girl on Legare Street by Karen White =-.

I've read only one Gaiman so far and it was for youngsters -- no sex! .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday 56 =-.
