作者简介
尼尔-盖曼（Neil Gaiman）
当代大师级幻想小说家，1960年生于英国。尼尔-盖曼是当代欧美文坛耀眼的新星，被《文学传记辞典》誉为十大后现代作家之一。
1989年，盖曼以漫画《睡魔》开始了创作之路。其后，他的创作逐渐涵盖了小说、漫画、诗歌、剧本等多个领域，代表作有《美国众神》《北欧众神》《坟场之书》《星尘》等。因其作品的独特风格和想象力，《迈阿密新时报》认为他已经成为"文学界的摇滚明星"；惊悚小说大师斯蒂芬-金则认为他"创作力之丰沃与作品水准之高，既神奇又吓人"。
《烟与镜》共收录盖曼29个经典短篇故事，涵盖其在惊悚小说、奇幻小说、同人小说以及叙事诗领域的佳作。
在《烟与镜》中，盖曼笔下的奇幻世界摒弃人类世界的道德标准和文明，将数千年来被压抑的人性彻底释放。故事诡异而有趣，让人看得头皮发麻。

I have always wanted to like Neil Gaiman's more than I really managed, but some of these short stories genuinely made a believer out of me. And some of them...didn't. The problem with anthologies is how much of a mixed bag they often are. There were stories in here I would absolutely have given four stars to (Snow, Glass, Apples is a particular stand-out, along with Murder Mysteries, though there were a few others that I also liked quite a bit) and several that would have gotten only two or, if I was feeling particularly annoyed, one. Some of that is just me, admittedly: I almost never like verse, and it takes a truly gifted story or author to make me like it. I didn't feel like Neil Gaiman managed in any of the verse he presented here. Overall, I'm impressed with his ability to tell a good story in short form (that is a skill many lack) and I'll definitely pick up another of his short story collections, if only for the absolute gems among them. I think I might honestly be more impressed with his ability to tell short stories than with any of the novels of his I have so far read, which seems to be an unusual opinion.
