What They're Saying

Critics Review

“Superb … haunting in a disturbing way and often witty and perversely humorous at the same time.”

“Readers will find echoes of H.P. Lovecraft, Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, but the voice is all Gaiman … highly imaginative.” – Dallas Morning News

“I read [Smoke and Mirrors] while adjectives like glorious, magical and weird-but-fascinating leapt through my head, then gave up, outclassed … [Gaiman’s] artful ruminations stretch from dreamlike folktales to darkly futuristic science fiction … a fine introduction to his varied work.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Superb … haunting in a disturbing way and often witty and perversely humorous at the same time.” – Richmond Times-Dispatch

“An exhilarating display of the work of one of our most entertaining storytellers.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred)
