  • "Recueil de nouvelles, courts romans, mêlant merveilleux, fantastique, horreur, réalisme, humour et douceur. Le monarque dans la vallée reprend le héros de American gods. En fin d'ouvrage, un entretien avec l'écrivain."
  • "Estos relatos-varios de ellos merecedores de premio Hugo y Locus-conforman este extraordinario libro que nos sumerge en el universo particular de Neil Gaiman: tierno, gótico, infantil, fantástico, cargado de un oscuro sentido del humor y, sobre todo, de una imaginación fuera de lo común y un talento que lo convierten en un escritor excepcional."

  • "In a Locus Award-winning tale, the members of an excusive epicurean club lament that they've eaten everything that can be eaten, with the exception of a legendary, rare, and exceedingly dangerous Egyptian bird ... Such marvelous creations and more?including a short story set in the world of The Matrix, and others set in the worlds of gothic fiction and children's fiction?can be found in this extraordinary collection, which showcases Gaiman's storytelling brilliance as well as his terrifyingly entertaining dark sense of humor. By turns delightful, disturbing, and diverting, Fragile Things is a gift of literary enchantment from one of the most unique writers of our time."
  • "Neil Gaiman nos transporta a su universo a ratos terrorífico, a ratros tremendamente bello, y nos regala un nuevo punto de vista sobre el mundo, uno que sólo puede salir de la pluma de un creador único y original como él. En esta recopilación de historias los narradores y el arte de la narración tienen el papel protagonista. Los meses, convertidos en personajes que hablan y se relacionan, intercambian opiniones en su reunión anual; un hombre medio devorado nos habla de cómo se hizo amigo de su querido caníbal; incluso Sherezade, la mayor contadora de historias de todos los tiempos recibe un homenaje. Estos relatos conforman este extraordinario libro que nos sumerge en el universo particular de Neil Gaiman: tierno, gótico, infantil, fantástico, cargado de un oscuro sentido del humor y, sobre todo, de una imaginación fuera de lo común y un talento que lo convierten en un escritor excepcional.--Desde la descripción de la editorial."
