Neil Gaiman is hit or miss for me: sometimes he's too dang scary. Despite that, I think I may tackle this short story collection, which I've heard lets you appreciate his range in a way his novel-length work can't.

I enjoyed this creepy tale. From Amazon: "This delightful, funny, haunting, scary as heck, fairy-tale novel is about as fine as they come."

Neil Gaiman is widely regarded as one of the best SFF writers of all time and yet, I have DNF’d everything I have tried to read by him. Team member Sara has assured me that this novella (less than 250 pages) is the one for me. A love story about Tristran, who will do anything for Victoria, including fetching a fallen star. While on this particular quest he discovers that nothing is what he thought it was, including the fallen star. I listened to this one on audio: Gaiman's a terrific narrator. (But this is NOT a book for young audiences; think of it as YA at least.)

An adult fairy tale about childhood and magic and monsters. I’m in awe of the fantasy world Gaiman creates in this slim novel. My first Gaiman fiction, but not my last.

Many audiophiles' ears perk up (pun intended) when they hear "full cast" and that's true for Gaiman's American Gods. If you've never read any Gaiman before, here's what you might like to know—characters like the Norse god Odin and Lucy Ricardo show up in the same universe. Need I say more? More info →

From the publisher: "In May 2012, bestselling author Neil Gaiman stood at a podium at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts to deliver the commencement address. For the next nineteen minutes he shared his thoughts about creativity, bravery, and strength: he encouraged the students before him to break rules and think outside the box. Most of all, he encouraged the fledgling painters, musicians, writers, and dreamers to make good art."

“Libraries are about freedom. Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication. They are about education, about entertainment, about making safe spaces and about access to information.”

From the publisher: "The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. According to the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture."

Neil Gaiman often narrates his own work, but this volume is a particular favorite among audiobook listeners. This collection features versions of the ancient Norse myths—tales full of gods and dwarves and giants—with Gaiman's signature wit. One reviewer said this was "as good as it gets without the old texts." And with thousands of reviews and 4.5 stars, you're in good hands for a story well told, and well narrated. More info →
