Re: Neil Gaiman: short stories?

I think he's a great writer of myths and mythology. I'm not that interested in short stories as a whole, so I've not bothered with his short story collections.

But, I can wholeheartedly reccomend American Gods to all and sundry. Great book, with interesting takes on established ideas of gods and the idea of how worship can shape the god itself.

Neverwhere and Anansi boys are much lighter reads, but still engaging nonetheless. Sandman is still his magnum opus, though.
