I’d like to share a short story I stumbled onto while reading Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman.

H u s h, the Nowhere King sleeps made for the @fragile-things-zine Centaurworld Zine (ID: An aerial view of the skeletal remains of an eldritch elk with too many legs and rib cages lying on red/black/blue ink- or blood-like sludge, curled up in a circle. At opposite is the General, likewise lying on the ground. Morning light gives the bones an orange glow. Maybe they're dead or maybe they're just sleeping.)

“Stories, like people and butterflies and songbirds' eggs and human hearts and dreams, are also fragile things, made up of nothing stronger or more lasting than twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks. Or they are words on the air, composed of sounds and ideas-abstract, invisible, gone once they've been spoken-and what could be more frail than that? But some stories, small, simple ones about setting out on adventures or people doing wonders, tales of miracles and monsters, have outlasted all the people who told them, and some of them have outlasted the lands in which they were created.” ― Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things: Short Fictions and Wonders.

I used this link to see what my writing style was like and I—

I am humbled by this honor. It’s not the first time someone has told me my writing style was reminiscent of Mr. Gaiman’s and it remains to this day the highest and greatest compliment I have ever received.

I doubt @neil-gaiman will see this, but I really had to share.

New chapter of Fragile Things is out! Feel free to come take a look if you'd like!

For uniformity's sake :

Each work count as 1,

e.g. Sandman counts as one because different editions mean a different number of volumes and Danny who's read the 3 Omnibus Volumes has read just as much as Nawel who's read 14 volumes.

Yes it means that someone who's read one issue will vote for the same thing that someone who's read the whole thing. No system is perfect.

If you've read one work (let's say The Graveyard Book) and its adaptation (let's say P. Craig Russell's), it counts as two, though (and not 3 even if the graphic novel is divided in two parts)

Of course audiobooks count.

I know realistically that i shouldn't text a number written on a sticky note in a book but

It's a Neil Gaiman book (Fragile Things)

It's a library book

Do evil people who like Neil Gaiman and go to the library exist????

Bookstore Purchase with No Regrets: Three Gaiman Short Story Collections

@neil-gaiman is one of those authors that I found through an anthology, “The Faery Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm,” in which he had written a poem of the same name that enchanted me, perhaps forever. I am grateful to this day that this anthology left a list of his works like a treasure map.

“They’d slice [my heart] into four and then

they’d string with it a violin.

And every day and every night

they’d play upon my heart a song

So plaintive and so wild and strange

that all who heard it danced along” (Faery Reel)

Fast forward 17 years later to last week when I’m perusing a bookstore’s shelves and find three of his short story collections. I purchase one, read the introduction in the cafe, and then give into temptation and purchase the other two. How could I not? Just read him:

“A few of [these stories] were written to amuse myself, or, more precisely, to get an idea or an image out of my head and pinned safely down on paper; which is as good a reason for writing as I know: releasing demons, letting them fly.” (Smoke and Mirrors - this now sits at my bedside for a nightly tale before bed)

“There are things in this book, as in life, that might upset you. There is death and pain in here, tears and discomfort, violence of all kinds, cruelty, even abuse. There is kindness, too, I hope, sometimes. Even a handful of happy endings. (Few stories end unhappily for all participants, after all). And there’s more than that: I know a lady called Rocky who is triggered by tentacles, and who genuinely needs warnings for things that have tentacles in them, especially tentacles with suckers, and who, confronted with an unexpected slice of squid or octopus, will dive, shaking, behind the nearest sofa. There is an enormous tentacle somewhere in these pages.” (Trigger Warning - this rests in my purse for random times when I’m asked to wait)

“It occurs to me that the peculiarity of most things we think of as fragile is how tough they truly are…Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkably difficult to kill.” (Fragile Things - hides in the living room by the couch, just out of reach of my toddler and waits for moments of quiet to tell me a story, or at least, part of one, before the next adventure).

Thank you, Mr. Gaiman, siren, pied piper, sandman, and dreamer - perhaps captive - setting part of your soul loose to tell stories so plaintive and so wild and strange.

It’s nice to have traveling companions, for a while or for a lifetime.
