Stories to delight, enchant, and surprise you.

Bestselling author and master storyteller Neil Gaiman here presents a breathtaking collection of tales that may chill or amuse readers—but always embrace the unexpected:

A teenage boy who has trouble talking to girls finds himself at a rather unusual party.
A sinister jack-in-the-box haunts the lives of the children who owned it.
A boy raised in a graveyard makes a discovery and confronts the much more troubling world of the living.
A stray cat fights a nightly battle to protect his adopted family from a terrible evil.

These eleven stories illuminate the real and the fantastic, and will be welcomed with great joy by Neil Gaiman`s many fans as well as by readers coming to his work for the first time.
