Pressezitat
"Readers will find echoes of H.P. Lovecraft, Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, but the voice is all Gaiman . . . highly imaginative." - Dallas Morning News"I read [Smoke and Mirrors] while adjectives like glorious, magical and weird-but-fascinating leapt through my head, then gave up, outclassed . . . [Gaiman's] artful ruminations stretch from dreamlike folktales to darkly futuristic science fiction . . . a fine introduction to his varied work." - Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Superb . . . haunting in a disturbing way and often witty and perversely humorous at the same time." - Richmond Times-Dispatch
"An exhilarating display of the work of one of our most entertaining storytellers." - Kirkus Reviews (starred)
