While this anthology effectively showcases Gaiman’s range across dark fantasy and ghost stories, it may disappoint readers seeking dense, visceral gore typical of extreme horror or the gritty realism of true crime. Those who prefer tightly plotted, conventional horror structures might find the selected fiction too whimsical or abstract. However, for admirers of atmospheric dread and mythic retellings, it remains a compelling, if somewhat superficial, introduction to his celebrated career in the genre.
