Summary
The 11 short stories in this collection by beloved author Neil Gaiman reflect a number of different genres. "The Case of the Four and Twenty Blackbirds" transforms nursery rhymes-"Humpty Dumpty" becomes a noir murder mystery-while the short, creepy horror tale, "Don’t Ask Jack," promises to have readers second-guessing the intentions of their toys. Named with science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury’s story collections in mind, Gaiman's book is an engaging collection that fans will enjoy.

Media Reviews
"Gaiman's impeccable eye for chilling details, implicit trust in his readers to be able to handle complicated (and effective) narrative coils, and the sense of despair and pessimism that is left to linger rather than saccharinely lightened for the young audience make this a standout among the ubiquitous anthologies for this age group."

Publisher's Notes
Eleven fantastical--and spine-tingling--stories include a sinister jack-in-the-box that terrorizes all who own it, a boy raised in a graveyard who confronts the much more troubling world of the living, and a stray cat who will do anything to protect his adopted family from evil. Simultaneous.
