Amazing short stories! Some overlap with the Neil Gaiman reader but that's to be expected. Always love a Shadow story

I prefer Neil Gaiman's novels and Sandman comics to his short stories, it seems, or at least this collection did not really work for me. Probably why it took me this long to finish. I liked 2-3 short stories, including the American Gods novella, but others were just too disjointed or not particularly grabbing. A specific one was also disturbing in ways I didn't particularly enjoy.

I wasn't in the mood for this, but I've grown as a reader so I want to give it another try someday.

I was struggling. I love Neil gaiman but I’m not a big short story fan
