Illustrated by
Briony Morrow-Cribbs.
With Maria Dahvana Headley. These thirteen previously published stories and three new tales all feature "unnatural creatures along with several other creatures who are either unlikely, impossible, or do not exist at all." Each selection, by such writers as Nnedi Okorafor, Larry Niven, and Diana Wynne Jones, is introduced by Gaiman, and his chatty and enlightening anecdotes are worth the price of admission.
