My daughter, who is three, is on her way to being the next Neil Gaiman. Bronwen likes to tell stories. The other day we were driving somewhere, the destination is unimportant, and she asked me if I wanted to hear a story.

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Anansi Boys is a near perfect novel.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Neil Gaiman writes the stories that I wish all stories could be. I don’t mean that I wish all stories were the sa ...

I finished reading Infernal Devices by K.W Jeter the other day, largely considered the origin of steampunk popular culture.
