Review: Smoke As Well As Mirrors

Smoke too Mirrors past times Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of five stars

This collection of brusk stories past times ane of the most talented writers of today is surprising too haunting, too volition exit you lot thinking "What if this were real?"

I actually enjoyed the dissimilar types of stories inward this collection, every bit roughly were nearly vampires, roughly nearly strange happenings, roughly were straight-up fantasy or scientific discipline fiction, too ane was nearly an angel who no longer has wings.

The element I liked the most nearly the mass was the introduction past times Neil Gaiman himself. In it, he explains the ideas behind each of the stories, or where the stories started out, or where they ended up. The mass is too interspersed amongst poems that say quick, creepy too intriguing tales.

There were a few stories I didn't enjoy, too most of them are definitely adult (one is practically porn but I didn't hear it), too thus don't allow your pre-teens teach concur of it. But if you lot similar a dose of weird too creep, too a dash of Cthulu, or fifty-fifty if you've but never experienced the hear of Gaiman, this is a must-read.
