Synopsis
Neil Gaiman follows up his bestselling 2005 novel, ANANSI BOYS, with this collection of poems and short prose culled from the same imaginative territory as much of his work: a mix of modern popular culture, myth, and the tropes of sci-fi and horror. A story that turns the months of the year into characters will remind readers of his Sandman comic series. The incarnation of a Norse god (and the main character of Gaiman's novel AMERICAN GODS) shows up in another story. The motley collection is not always polished, but the many people who have been enchanted by Gaiman's bewitching imagination will relish these dark gems.

Publisher's Note
A collection of more than twenty-five short fictional works includes a novella featuring the hero from his best-selling American Gods, in a volume that follows a theme of the intersections between life and death, perception and reality, and darkness and light.
Industry reviews
"One delight after another." (07/01/2006) "Gaiman again proves himself a perverse romantic, heir not only to Poe and Baudelaire but to the breathless Pre-Raphaelites....He wears his pop cred in boldface, and street-smart hipness saturates these eerie epiphanies. But the collection also boasts lush prose, a lack of irony and a winning faith in the enchantment of stories." [Starred review] (07/11/2006)

This is a new audiobook, in manufacturer's shrink wrap, from a smoke-free home.

A mysterious circus terrifies an audience for one extraordinary performance before disappearing into the night, taking one of the spectators along with it . . . In a novella set two years after the events of American Gods, Shadow pays a visit to an ancient Scottish mansion, and finds himself trapped in a game of murder and monsters . . . In a Hugo Award-winning short story set in a strangely altered Victorian England, the great detective Sherlock Holmes must solve a most unsettling royal murder . . . Two teenage boys crash a party and meet the girls of their dreams - and nightmares . . . In a Locus Award-winning tale, the members of an exclusive epicurean club lament that they've eaten everything that can be eaten, with the exception of a legendary, rare, and exceedingly dangerous Egyptian bird . . . Such marvelous creations and more - including a short story set in the world of The Matrix, and others set in the worlds of gothic fiction and children's fiction - can be found in this extraordinary collection, which showcases Gaiman's storytelling brilliance as well as his terrifyingly entertaining dark sense of humor. By turns delightful, disturbing, and diverting, Fragile Things is a gift of literary enchantment from one of the most unique writers of our time.
