適讀人群 ：8-12歲
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.

內容簡介

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.

此後不久，一個偶然的機會，尼爾·蓋曼認識瞭美國漫畫界的頂尖劇作者艾倫·摩爾，隨即開始瞭自己的漫畫生涯。經過數年的曆練和積纍，27歲的尼爾·蓋曼開始著手創作《睡魔》係列漫畫。當尼爾·蓋曼為《睡魔》寫作對白時，他絕沒有想到這將會是他的成名作，《睡魔》會成為歐美讀者最喜歡的漫畫。

評分☆☆☆☆☆

“我的生活就像‘滴答’的鍾錶一樣有規律。每個月花兩星期寫《睡魔》的劇本，另外兩個星期做其他的事。”在《睡魔》係列中，尼爾·蓋曼以掌管世人夢境的摩爾甫斯神為主角，創作齣一個個引人入勝的小故事。背景時而在中國西域大漠，時而又到地獄冥府，有時甚至在其他文學或漫畫作品的背景中遨遊，時空跨度之廣令人嘆為觀止。
