Synopsis
The distinctive storytelling genius of Neil Gaiman has been acclaimed by writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King. With The Sandman, Gaiman created the most sophisticated, intelligent and influential graphic novel series of our time. In Neverwhere he built a mesmerising world of wonders and terrors below the streets of London. In Stardust, he enchanted us with an extraordinary world beyond imagination. Now, with Smoke and Mirrors - which includes previously unpublished stories - he will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the depths of your soul.
An elderly widow finds the Holy Grail beneath an old fur coat in a second-hand store ...
A stray cat fights and refights a terrible nightly battle to protect his unwary adoptive family from unimaginable evil ...
A young couple receives a wedding gift that will reveal a chilling alternative history of their marriage ...
Underneath a railway bridge, a frightened little boy bargains for his life with a very persistent troll ...
These miraculous inventions and much more await in this extraordinary collection, revealing one of our most gifted storytellers at the height of his powers.
