I don't know what my problem is, but I just can't seem to get into Gaiman's novels. Practically everyone I know loves his work, but his long form stuff just falls flat with me. His short stories (and the Sandman, of course) are a different story, however.
Back on topic: I just finished reading the Mammoth Book of Best New Horror 15, edited by Stephen Jones. Some very strong entries in this year's collection.
