The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman

December 30, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

I had this grand plan to breeze through all of these on a weekend, since once the first two come off of hold the rest of them are readily available at my library. Foolish me, I should have realized that these are substantial length novels that would take a substantial amount of time to complete. Fun side bar, I also discovered that I checked a number of these out from the NYPL back in 2016? But I feel like I’d remember if I’d actually read […]

“…we’re the dream that humanity creates to make sense of the shadows on the cave wall.”

American Gods: Author’s Preferred Text by Neil Gaiman

December 20, 2022 by ElCicco 3 Comments

I watched the first season American Gods on Starz back in the day, and I really enjoyed it but never bothered with the rest of the series once I heard that the show runner and several stars were out of the project. I’ve had the novel on my shelf ever since, but its length (500+ pages) was a little off-putting. It’s a funny thing though that the “long” stories are often the ones that read the fastest while the “short” ones can be a slog. […]

Mid-trilogy shift from Snarky Magical Adventure to a Demon Endless Philosophy

Quicksilver Court by Melissa Caruso

December 17, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Quicksilver Court is an interesting middle installment; there’s a lot of set up for future things and not much is resolved. What’s interesting is that a key question from the first book is answered about halfway through; usually you have to wait until book 3 for that. What happens here though is that that reveal sets up both a good bit of probably character development (or at least soul searching) as well as the final major plot conflict. Ryx, Severin, and the rest of the […]

Why Have I Waited So Long to Read This?

Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes Volume I by Neil Gaiman

December 6, 2022 by Ale 1 Comment

Since the show came out on Netflix, about six different people have asked me if I’m watching “Sandman,” since they know I’m a huge Gaiman fanatic. But I have not. Mostly because I don’t have Netflix, but also because I’ve never read the source material, and I’m a stickler for reading the book before seeing the media. So I finally started Sandman. Why did I wait so long???? My guess, personally, is being a little afraid of the Graphic Novel. It’s an irrational fear, and when […]

A Visit With An Old Friend You’ve Outgrown a Little

Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman

October 12, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo: Bodies (dead bodies, aliens inhabiting human bodies, people going from cyberspace into a body for the first time, etc.) I was obsessed with Neil Gaiman’s work from high school through college and then burned out and haven’t read anything by him in probably 10 years, so when I saw this in the bookstore I initially didn’t think I was going to get it. But when I picked it up and started reading the first story, I remembered that I liked that one, and it […]

A candy colored clown they call the sandman

Preludes and Nocturnes (The Sandman #1) by Neil Gaiman

August 28, 2022 by Bea Pants Leave a Comment

  I’ve actually read Preludes and Nocturnes multiple times since I was a wee 90s teen but I decided to give it a reread since the Netflix series dropped. I’ve been waiting for an onscreen version of Sandman for actual decades so a little refresh was in order so I could pick all the nits in the series. I have to say overall it does a great job of bringing Morphus and The Dreaming to life in a way that would not have been possible […]
