Smoke and Mirrors*****

This book is a collection of his short twisted stories. Some of them have been published and some haven't. He wrote the comic book "The Sandman". What I liked a lot is the how original they are they are twisted and dark. ONce you think you have a grip on the story it changes and twists to surprise you. Every story is strange in a good way. Foe a sample story go here

Nicholas Was...

older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. He wanted to die.

The dwarfish natives of the Artic caverns did not speek his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tougue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working the factories.

Once every year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night. During the Journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of the dwarves' invisible gifts by its bedside. The children slept, frozen in time.

He enveyd Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. His punishment was harsher.

Ho.

Ho.

Ho.
