Under a Gilded Moon by Joy Jordan-Lake

Did not finish book. Stopped at 23%.
I like the style of writing and the story intrigues me but I just can't get into it right now.  I keep gravitating to other books. This will be a book I try to read again later

A collection of Gaiman's shorter works this has a story for many moods.  He plays with different forms of presenting story and the mixture of fantasy, suspense and humour make for a good read.  He also visits familiar characters.  Shadow from his book American Gods, the eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond as well as Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.  A must readf for fans of Gaiman's work.
