A modern master of fantasy has selected nine of his short stories and a poem and added a segment from an upcoming children's title for this volume, appropriately titled in homage to a past master, Ray Bradbury. Leading off with a classic detective story involving nursery rhyme characters, Gaiman continues down familiar but twisted paths. There's a scary jack-in-the-box and a troll under a bridge. A rogue describes a perfect scam. A black cat fends off the devil; the eaters of a phoenix discover that it burns. There are stories about talking with girls, with ghosts, with knights in armor, and with aliens. Finally, Gaiman concludes with instructions for proper behavior in fairy-tale land. Although all but "The Witch's Headstone" have appeared elsewhere, this well-chosen collection is sure to create a new generation of Gaiman fans who will not need to understand all the allusions to enjoy the stories. Danish comic-book artist Kristiansen, no stranger to Gaiman material, will be providing the illustrations.

Taking both inspiration and naming convention from Ray Bradbury's R Is for Rocket and S Is for Space, Gaiman's first YA anthology is a fine collection of previously published short stories. Although Gaiman's prose skill has improved markedly since the earliest stories included here, one constant is his stellar imagination, not to mention his knack for finding unexpected room for exploration in conventional story motifs. Jill Dumpty, sister of the late Humpty, hires a hard-boiled detective to look into her brother's tragic fall; the 12 months of the year sit around in a circle, telling each other stories about the things they've seen; an elderly woman finds the Holy Grail in a flea market and takes it home because of how nice it will look on her mantelpiece. Collectors will be pleased to note the inclusion of several stories that were previously published in the now-hard-to-find collection Angels & Visitations. Also of note is fan favorite How to Talk to Girls at Parties, which has been nominated for a Hugo Award for 2007. Though Gaiman is still best known for his groundbreaking Sandman comic book epic, this volume is an excellent reminder of his considerable talent for short-form prose.

内容简介

Master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a breathtaking collection of tales for younger readers that may chill or amuse, but that always embrace the unexpected:

Humpty Dumpty's sister hires a private detective to investigate her brother's death.
A teenage boy who has trouble talking to girls finds himself at a rather unusual party.
A boy raised in a graveyard makes a discovery, and confronts the much more troubling world of the living.

在1987到1996年间，尼尔·盖曼一共创作了75期漫画，由此得到的漫画奖项不计其数。直至今天，这一漫画系列仍然高居书店畅销榜。每当有一部新的漫画书问世，人们总会把它和《睡魔》比较，《睡魔》成了漫画史上的里程碑。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

“我的生活就像‘滴答’的钟表一样有规律。每个月花两星期写《睡魔》的剧本，另外两个星期做其他的事。”在《睡魔》系列中，尼尔·盖曼以掌管世人梦境的摩尔甫斯神为主角，创作出一个个引人入胜的小故事。背景时而在中国西域大漠，时而又到地狱冥府，有时甚至在其他文学或漫画作品的背景中遨游，时空跨度之广令人叹为观止。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

莎士比亚是尼尔·盖曼的文学导师之一。在他的很多作品里，都可以看到莎士比亚的痕迹。在后来创作的《蜘蛛男孩》里，不仅有大段关于哈姆雷特的描述，而且主人公不止一次被用来和麦克白做比较。
