Stephen King's Introduction sets the stage for a series of tales with a haunting geometry--some angular, some parallel, some concentric. An eerie mirror of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this collection tells of a group of travelers from throughout time, myth and dream, who converge at a mysterious inn to seek refuge from a "reality storm". Graphic novel format. Mature readers.… (més)
This one gets 5 stars because I liked the different artists' contributions combined with Neil Gaiman's storytelling (and here there were stories within stories), which is always great. ( )
Things start to get interesting. And a lot more connected. At least, at the end here.
Lots of stories within stories within... you get the idea. The end hints at biiig things to come, also noticeable because #9 is a lot weightier than the previous ones. ( )
I loved this volume. I wasn't sure if I'd like it at first, because it didn't seem to have much of the Endless in it, but when I finally got around to reading it, I found it quite enjoyable and quite charming. The stories were interesting, and we did get peeks of the Endless - from the point of view of humans, brief, misunderstood glimpses. Which is a new way to see them. ( )
A group of strangers (some of them very strange strangers) stranded in an inn during a storm pass the time by telling stories. And we have stories within stories within stories. Something of a tour-de-force with each story having its own style of illustration. We are left with questions which hopefully will be answered in the next volume. ( )

This book's for Maddy, pink and tiny, born one hour and ten minutes ago, who has spent most of the intervening time sucking vigorously on my fingers in the mistaken belief that they provide a viable source of nutrition. I give you all your tomorrows, and these small stories. With my love, Neil Gaiman.

Looking back on it, the thing that still surprises me is my own reaction to it all.

It's amazing how much one can accomplish in an evening, if one is willing to expend a little effort, and to walk briskly.
Some say that he still walks between the worlds, travelling from America to America, help to the helpless, a shelter for the weak. Others say that he waits to be born once more, and that this time he will not come just to one America, but to all of them. And I walk the worlds, following him, seeking him, walking ahead...spreading his word.
I don't have a goddamn story.
