If a fan wants to listen more and more from the works of Neil Gaiman then this is one stop for him. Also narrated by Neil Gaiman the book has many short stories with different themes and situations. Every short story is like entering a new world or a new dimension that does not allow the listener to get bored from it.
The Sandman and Norse Mythology were also with interesting stuff but this masterpiece is incomparable. It is with the depiction of a Mysterious circus that the book begins. The circus no doubt shows an awesome performance to the audience but when it is about to leave the stage it takes one of the spectators with it. No one knows what happens to that person after the disappearance because no evidence has ever been found related to the disappearance. Later the listeners get the chance to see Sherlock Holmes in a new sensational episode which was not there in the original version.
Sherlock Holmes is given a task to solve a royal murder before the news leaks to the general public. The story of two lovers’ boys attracts the attention most of all because after finding the girls of their dreams they just cannot make their life picture perfect. Issues start to appear in the life of those teenage boys and soon they find out that their dreams have turned into horrible nightmares from which they just cannot run.
Neil Gaiman has written every story without the influence of the previous one which makes these stories shine like gems in the book. Some listeners even doubt that perhaps all of this stuff is not written by a single person.
