I love Neil Gaiman‘s imagination! I can‘t believe hubby found this for me all on his own. I didn‘t even know it was a thing. I am loving it. But dang it‘s heavy to hold while reading. It needs support pillows.

Christmas #bookhaul I plan on spending today relaxing and reading, with a big pot of tea. I hope you all having a relaxing bookish day, too.
Once I understood what was going on in the framing story, I fully embraced this play on the gothic genre. The gothic elements evoked aspects of Wuthering Heights, Beauty and the Beast, Dracula, and Poe‘s The Raven and Fall of the House of Usher.

Loved the 80s setting and references to punk and new wave music. Each girl had their own little story to tell. Again, I enjoyed the visuals of the artwork. The tagged graphic novel features 4 stories, and I‘m posting individual reviews for each story.

This tale of fallen angels was really interesting, though my least favorite in this collection. It read more like a fable than anything. I might have preferred it without the framing device. The visuals were very beautiful and appealing. The tagged graphic novel features 4 stories, and I‘m posting individual reviews for each story.

This was a fun Lovecraftian take on the classic Sherlock Holmes story “A Study in Scarlet.” In this alternate universe, royals are Cthulhu-like monsters that bleed green blood. The tagged graphic novel features 4 stories, and I‘m posting individual reviews for each story.

I didn‘t even know this was a thing—WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!?—until Neil Gaiman posted the thing on Instagram. It‘s out in June (🤞the production schedule doesn‘t slide) and I‘m fairly certain I‘m going to need a copy. Four stories, one volume. So cool.
