Smoke And Mirrors

The distinctive storytelling genius of Neil Gaiman has been acclaimed by writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King. In Smoke and Mirrors—the definitive collection of Gaiman's short fiction, including previously unpublished material—he will dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination and move you to the depths of your soul.

In Gaiman's richly imagined fictions, anything is possible: an elderly widow finds the Holy Grail beneath an old fur coat in a second-hand store; under a bridge, a frightened little boy bargains for his life with a very persistent troll; a stray cat fights and refights a terrible nightly battle to protect his unsuspecting adoptive family from unimaginable evil...

These miraculous inventions and many more await in this extraordinary book, revealing one of our most gifted storytellers at the height of his powers.
