Fragile Things

Neil Gaiman follows up his bestselling 2005 novel, ANANSI BOYS, with this collection of poems and short prose culled from the same imaginative territory as much of his work: a mix of modern popular culture, myth, and the tropes of sci-fi and horror. A story that turns the months of the year into characters will remind readers of his Sandman comic series. The incarnation of a Norse god (and the main character of Gaiman`s novel AMERICAN GODS) shows up in another story. The motley collection is not always polished, but the many people who have been enchanted by Gaiman`s bewitching imagination will relish these dark gems. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
