Neil Gaiman's second collection of short stories is titled Fragile Things.
After frightening the crowd with one amazing show, a mystery circus vanishes into the night, taking one of the onlookers with it.
In a novella that takes place two years after the events of American Gods, Shadow visits an old Scottish estate and is sucked into a murderous game with monsters.
In a different short fiction, Sherlock Holmes, the legendary investigator, is tasked with solving a very disturbing case of royal murder in a curiously transformed Victorian England.
After breaking into a party, two adolescent lads encounter the girls of their fears and fantasies.
With the exception of a fabled, very rare, and extremely deadly Egyptian bird, the members of an excusive epicurean club bemoan having consumed everything edible.
This collection, which highlights Gaiman's narrative prowess and his engaging (and dark) sense of humor, has such wonderful inventions and more, such as a short tale set in the universe of The Matrix and others set in the realms of gothic literature and children's fiction. Fragile Things is a work of literary magic from one of the most distinctive authors of our time, at once charming, unsettling, and entertaining.
