While this might not be a book that I keep with me at all times, I enjoyed it well enough. Neil Gaiman is, for sure, a great writer, and many of the stories in here are memorable, especially “Click-Clack the Rattlebag.” While many of these stories I would not really describe as horror, it was great October reading. Unlike “The Anthropocene Reviewed,” where only a few segments were uninteresting, I found that more of this book was just okay. It doesn’t take away any of my respect for Neil Gaiman, however - if you have to write an anthology of short stories, they’re not all going to be winners.
