    The best stories of the collection were: The Wedding Present (found in the introduction), Troll Bridge, Queen of Knives, We Can Get Them for You Wholesale, and Snow, Glass, Apples. All of them are sufficiently creepy and really make you think. Don't Ask Jack and The Sweeper of Dreams were short, but quite good. The less important (but entertaining) stories are Chivalry, The Goldfish Pool, and Shoggoth's Old Peculiar.

    The rest of the collection I could have done without. I judge a story based on the message it gives... some didn't even have a message, others were used for the shock factor, and the rest just didn't interest me.

    I guess you can't expect all of them to be good, but I did enjoy myself for the most part. If you're a Gaiman fan, definitely check this one out.
