A Walking Tour of the Shambles by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a very short book, and was actually co-written by Neil Gaiman and Gene Wolfe (whom Gaiman has often declared himself a fan of). It purports to be a walking tour of an area known as "The Shambles", which is a fictional neighborhood in Chicago (where Wolfe lives) and obviously is the site of some extremely strange history. Some of the locations include a really weird church, a house of clocks, and a house belonging to H.H. Holmes (America's first serial killer). All of which remain rather dangerous for the casual visitor.
This book is fun, and while not a long read is an easy recreational read, sure to please both Gaiman and Wolfe's fans.
