Two teenage boys crash a party and meet the girls of their dreams-- and nightmares ... A mysterious circus terrifies an audience for one extraordinary performance before disappearing into the night ... In a Hugo Award-winning story, a great detective must solve a most unsettling royal murder in a strangely altered Victorian England ... These marvelous creations and more showcase the unparalleled invention and storytelling brilliance-- and the terrifyingly dark and entertaining wit-- of the incomparable Neil Gaiman.--page 4 of cover |
