Popis:

Ve vysoce imaginativní fantazii Neila Gaimana je možné všechno. Důkazem toho je tato neobyčejná sbírka povídek. Objevíte v ní zázračné vynálezy a podivuhodné postavy: postarší ženu, která ve starém krámku objeví svatý grál, vystrašeného chlapce smlouvajícího o svůj život se zlým trolem žijícím pod mostem u trati, mladý pár, který dostane svatební dar, jenž postupne odhaluje děsivé alternativy jejich manželství.
Kouř a zrcadla omámí vaše zmysly a dotkne se vás u srdce - a bude vás strašit ve snech.
