I'm almost finished with my second time through this book--love Gaiman's introduction. My two FAVORITE stories are "The Case of Death and Honey" and "The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury". In the case of the first one, the reader needs at least a nodding acquaintance with the Sherlock Holmes background, and in the the second, his many references to Ray Bradbury's works are a delight for those of us who loved Bradbury. Gaiman's journal post upon learning of Bradbury's death brought me to tears: http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2012/06...
Some of the other selections feel rather like "filler", which was much the same reaction I had to Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders. If Gaiman had taken his best stories from those two volumes, the collection would have been amazing.
My final review is here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Sorry it's getting dark by 8pm now, so see you when spring arrives!
