'Lush prose.and a winning faith in the enchantment ofstories. ell-worth adding to any collection highly recommended.' -LibraryJournal 'Charming, at times creepy, and good fun. By turns delightful, disturbing, and diverting, Fragile Things is a gift of literary enchantment from one of the most unique writers of our time. Such marvelous creations and more-including a short story set in the world of The Matrix, and others set in the worlds of gothic fiction and children's fiction-can be found in this extraordinary collection, which showcases Gaiman's storytelling brilliance as well as his terrifyingly entertaining dark sense of humor. In a Locus Award-winning tale, the members of an excusive epicurean club lament that they've eaten everything that can be eaten, with the exception of a legendary, rare, and exceedingly dangerous Egyptian bird. Two teenage boys crash a party and meet the girls of their dreams-and nightmares. In a Hugo Award-winning short story set in a strangely altered Victorian England, the great detective Sherlock Holmes must solve a most unsettling royal murder. In a novella set two years after the events of American Gods, Shadow pays a visit to an ancient Scottish mansion, and finds himself trapped in a game of murder and monsters. I still have some novels by Gaiman that I have yet to read, including 'American Gods'.A mysterious circus terrifies an audience for one extraordinary performance before disappearing into the night, taking one of the spectators along with it. Here are some of the stories that are my highlights from this collection 'October in the Chair', 'Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire', 'The Flints of Memory Lane', 'Harlequin Valentine', 'The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch', 'How Do You Think It Feels?', 'Goliath', 'Sunbird' and a sequel novella to 'American Gods' titled 'The Monarch of the Glen'. Ranging from horror, fantasy and science fiction these works are simply good.

The worlds that he creates in his prose poems and short stories are very fantastic in a way that's just too good to describe! And he does it with quite a sense of humor in some of his stories. I'm really starting to like the works written by this man. Here in 'Fragile Things' there is not only material from the 90s but also material from the 2000s as well.

Gaiman's fourth collection 'Smoke and Mirrors' includes material from the 90s and even some that come from the 80s.

'Fragile Things' the third collection of prose poems and short stories by this author.

Finished another Neil Gaiman collection for tonight.
