2010. The distinctive storytelling genius of Neil Gaiman has been acclaimed by writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King. FRAGILE THINGS, his second collection of short fiction, contains thirty previously published pieces of short fiction - stories, verse, and an American Gods novella - plus one new piece ("How to Talk to Girls at Parties," which was nominated for a Hugo Award and won the Locus Award) written especially for this volume. Guaranteed to dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination, and move you to the depths of your soul, FRAGILE THINGS is a gift of wonder and delight from one of the most unique literary artists of our day.
