A Little Gold Book of Ghastly Stuff, by Neil Gaiman
Second paragraph of third piece ("Jerusalem", a short story):
Despite its rarity, this was the most popular book that I had acquired in 2015 but not yet read. Next on that pile is Twice a Stranger, by Bruce Clark.
He was glad to be out of it.A collection of mostly minor stories, essays and speeches by Gaiman, including his first ever fiction publication in Imagine issue 14, which came out in May 1984, so I must have bought it at the time without realising its historical importance. A couple of these were already familiar to me, including the famous George R.R. Martin is not your bitch blogpost which I saw when it was first published. There were a surprising number of typos (especially in that first story). Can be safely skipped; I got it as part of the Humble Bundle, and it seems to be otherwise out of print.
