Here is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghost stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that chart the wilds of experience and emotion. In "Adventure Story"—a thematic companion to the bestselling novel The Ocean at the End of the Lane—Gaiman ponders death and the ways that people take their stories with them when they die. Also included is "Nothing O'Clock," a special Doctor Who story that was written for the beloved series, as well as the never-before-published "Black Dog," a haunting new tale that revisits the world of American Gods as Shadow Moon stops in at a village pub on his way back to America.
