From one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved storytellers of our time comes a major new collection of stories, now available in a pulp-inspired mass market edition with cover art by renowned artist Robert McGinnis!
In this wide-ranging collection of short fiction, Neil Gaiman pierces the veil of reality to reveal the enigmatic, shadowy world that lies beneath. This rich compendium features stories and poetry that transport us deep into the realm of imagination—where the fantastical becomes real and the everyday incandescent—including an original American Gods novella in which Shadow Moon finds himself drawn into the dark and murderous mystery of the “Black Dog” in the English Peak District.
Horror and ghost stories, speculative fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and verse—all combine to illustrate the strength and breadth of Gaiman's storytelling mastery and cement his reputation as one of the finest writers at work today.
Neil Gaiman is the New York Times bestselling and multi-award winning author and creator of many beloved books, graphic novels, short stories, film, television and theatre for all ages. He is the recipient of the Newbery and Carnegie Medals, and many Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will Eisner Awards. Neil has adapted many of his works to television series, including Good Omens (co-written with Terry Pratchett) and The Sandman. He is a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency UNHCR and Professor in the Arts at Bard College. For a lot more about his work, please visit: https://www.neilgaiman.com/

Alone, Neil Gaiman and Daniel Handler are plenty charming.
