[books 2008] Gothic!

2. Gothic! Ten original dark tales, edited by Deborah Noyes

I didn't realise until I read the intro that this is supposed to be a Young Adult collection.

This is a really good collection. A few of the stories were really enjoyable but with disappointing endings, but others (notably "Prank" and "The Writing on the Wall") are just wonderful. This collection also contains one of my favourite Neil Gaiman short stories, "Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Nameless House of the Night of Dread Desire", which is just hilarious.

I heard Neil read that story at a convention a couple of years ago. I laughed so hard I nearly cried.

I read that last year and really enjoyed it. :)
