"En las manos maestras de Neil Gaiman, la magia es mucho más que un mero juego de engaños. La destreza y el poder de invención de este gran fabulador transforman el entorno cotidiano en un mundo hechizado por sucesos sombríos y extraños, en el que una anciana puede comprar el Santo Grial en una tienda de segunda mano, unos asesinos se anuncian en los clasificados de un periódico bajo la rúbrica ±CONTROL DE PLAGAS¬, o un muchacho asustado debe negociar con un trol malcarado y mezquino que vive bajo un puente ferroviario. Esta recopilación de treinta relatos, poemas narrativos y piezas breves e inclasificables ofrece múltiples y variadas posibilidades para que el lector explore una realidad transformada, astutamente velada por el humo y las sombras, a la vez que tangible y afilada. Todo parece posible en el universo de Gaiman, el gran maestro prestidigitador que despierta los sentidos, cautiva los sueños y mantiene en vilo nuestra mente."--
