Recensione:

“Stories is the perfect dark counterbalance to the smells of suntan lotion and barbecue smoke waiting for you this summer.” (Los Angeles Times)

“These stories are part of what Gaiman and Sarrantonio call “a new literature of the imagination,” a rewardingly imprecise theme that guarantees that no matter how many times you dip into this tomish treasure chest, there will always be something surprising waiting for you inside.” (www.veryshortlist.com on STORIES)

“If you can’t find something to like from [Stories] roster, you really need a vacation.” (St. Petersburg Times)

“A sometimes creepy, dark and dreamlike two thumbs up.” (Time Out New York)

“An ambitious anthology with a pleasing mix of modes and moods. Stories has a little something for everyone who appreciates the possibilities of short fiction.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
