This book was like a dark fairy tale, and by dark I don't just mean the wolf scaring grandma into her closet. In this book, the wolves are sadomasochistic eaters of the dead- and the living. The tales of the sewer alligators of NYC and the "beast of London" are all true in this book. Richard Mayhew is an average, if not a bit foolish (he collects those ugly troll dolls), man living in London whose life changes when he plays "good samaritan" and saves the life of a special little girl.
Less esoteric than "American Gods" this book was a much easier read!
