Short Story Connect discussion

Sorry I'm late getting the thread up. This month has been crazy and I completely forgot. So sorry.

Here's where to find the stories: http://www.neilgaiman.com/p/Cool_Stuf...

Be sure to specify which story (or stories) you read. ^_^

"The Four and Twenty Blackbirds" was extremely clever, the way these nursery rhyme characters came to life and became quite dark in this otherwise classic detective story.

I also ready "How to Talk to Girls at Parties." It's beautifully written, and I found the two boys engaging. It got a bit far afield for me, though, and the ending left me unsatisfied. Great writing though!

I agree with Piper, this is cleverly written in fairy tale land. It kind of reminded me of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Quite enjoyable and a very quick read. Sometimes you need that. This short story was quite different from American Gods.
