My Comments:
A fabulous compilation of short stories and poetry by a modern master.
I loved reading this compilation of Fantasy, Sci Fi and Supernatural stories by Neil Gaiman - he is one of my personal favorites.
A fun feature of this book is that with each story comes author commentary, which is great for writers and readers alike.
Writers constantly get asked the question, "Where do your ideas come from?". This book is not only a great compilation of stories and poetry, but also delves into the answer to that question - at least as far as Neil Gaiman is concerned. Neil Gaiman's commentary gives you a peak into his interesting, dark and somewhat twisted mind.

I have a few of Neil Gaiman books (Stardust, Neverwhere, Good Omens and Smoke and Mirrors). I'll have to get this one, it sounds great.
It really is a great book. I'd also recommend American Gods and Anansi Boys - two more excellent Neil Gaiman books.
