Books like Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days

A short story collection of early works of Gaiman's. Includes:Jack in the GreenBrothersShaggy God StoriesHold MeSandman Midnight TheatreWelcome back to the House of MysteryHe started out with such a strong voice. The man is a storyteller. He has a way with words. Jack in the Green is a swamp Thing type story. Brothers was indeed strange. Something about hippies and aliens of some kind or rag dollsShaggy God Stories is another Swamp Thing type story. Psychedelic. Hold me has John constantine in it. It was very moody. the last two are tied into the Sandman stories that he wrote. It is an interesting collection and I admit that I did not enjoy these stories as much as I have enjoyed other Gaiman works. I think I have a lot going on it not as much focus. Still, I'm glad I read these. It's good to know where an author comes from.
