In the deft hands of Neil Gaiman, magic is no
mere illusion and anything is possible. In Smoke and Mirrors, Gaiman’s
imagination and supreme artistry transform a mundane world into a place of
terrible wonders—where an old woman can purchase the Holy Grail at a thrift
store, where assassins advertise their services in the Yellow Pages under “Pest
Control,” and where a frightened young boy must barter for his life with a
mean-spirited troll living beneath a bridge by the railroad tracks. Explore a
new reality, obscured by smoke and darkness yet brilliantly tangible, in this
extraordinary collection of short works by a master prestidigitator. It will
dazzle your senses, touch your heart, and haunt your dreams.
