"En las manos maestras de Neil Gaiman, la magia es mucho más que un mero juego de engaños. La destreza y el poder de invención de este gran fabulador transforman el entorno cotidiano en un mundo hechizado por sucesos sombríos y extraños, en el que una anciana puede comprar el Santo Grial en una tienda de segunda mano, unos asesinos se anuncian en los clasificados de un periódico bajo la rúbrica ±CONTROL DE PLAGAS¬, o un muchacho asustado debe negociar con un trol malcarado y mezquino que vive bajo un puente ferroviario. Esta recopilación de treinta relatos, poemas narrativos y piezas breves e inclasificables ofrece múltiples y variadas posibilidades para que el lector explore una realidad transformada, astutamente velada por el humo y las sombras, a la vez que tangible y afilada. Todo parece posible en el universo de Gaiman, el gran maestro prestidigitador que despierta los sentidos, cautiva los sueños y mantiene en vilo nuestra mente."--

Work Description
E-book exclusives stories: "Fifteen Painted Cards from a Vampire Tarot"; "Eaten"; "Apple."In Neil Gaiman's richly imagined fiction, anything is possible. And the proof is in the telling in this extraordinary collection of short stories. Discover within these pages miraculous inventions and curious characters: an elderly widow who finds the Holy Grail tucked beneath an old fur coat in a thrift store; a terrified boy who barters for his life with a mean-spirited troll living beneath a bridge by the railroad tracks; a young couple who receives a wedding gift that gradually reveals a chilling alternative history of their marriage. Smoke and Mirrors will dazzle your senses, touch your heart -- and haunt your dreams.
