Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It hurts to type this as I adore Neil for many, many years now but some of the writings in this book are dreadful. And I would've only given it a 3(my standard rating if you even finish writing a book because it is quite difficult) but for the ones in here that are great. So great that they deserve another star. The Sherlock story for example. The Eyes Only Dossier as another. But the building a chair poem? Blah. I could mention a few others but I will not. As he does say in the introduction that short story collections are essentially vanity projects. The grading curve on them is different. I've read his other collections and the ones that are great in this book are some of the best for sure. I would say to skip some of them but really reading them all gives you an idea of comparison of a very good short story and one that was probably only published because you are Neil Gaiman. Consider it a lesson.
