Summary: Mediocre [For Gaiman] Faustian Tale
Comment: When I purchased this title, I had no idea it was a collaboration with Alice Cooper, released as a promotion for his "The Last Temptation" album. If I had known, I probably would not have bought it. I've never been an Alice Cooper fan.. I think he's embarassingly cheesy. Personal taste aside, though, this still isn't an exceptional work. Owing much to Faust by way of Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes", the story is about evil [looking remarkably like Alice Cooper, natch] tempting the good. As Gaiman says himself in the introduction, "The story wasn't a story I would have come up with alone: it was too clear-cut. God was looking out for the innocent, and the serpent was always looking for a way into your heart." Recommended only to "die-hard" Gaiman fans, who want to own every single thing he's ever done, or to fans of Alice Cooper.

Summary: ALICE COOPER; THE SHOWMAN OF THE GRAND GUIGNOL!
Comment: Neil Gaiman is one of the most inventive, respected and popular writers of fantastic fiction for many years now. His run on Sandman for DC Comic's Vertigo has put him in the league of other comic book greats like Alan Moore & Frank Miller...Alice Cooper is a rock legend, forgotten by many, but still... in the world of rock n roll. Alice paved the way for just about every popular "shocker" in the last thirty years.. He is the original showman, an Alice Cooper concert is a trip into a nightmare of violent acts and brutal punishments of torture, usually inflicted on Alice himself... But when Alice Cooper had an idea for a new concept album, he summond the talents of Mr. Gaiman to pen a story to bring his album to life... The story is about a young boy named Steven (a character first met in Alice's greatest solo album "Welcome to My Nightmare") who is the [brunt] of everyone's jokes...he's a scardy cat, and on a few days before Halloween, the boys come across a hidden theatre in the city and encounter a strange man in a top hat with creepy face paint (obviously Alice). The man offers one of the boys a ticket to his show...Steven is chosen and he steps through the doors alone into a nightmarish world where all of his fears will attack him and the mysterious showman will try to steal his soul.
This book is a must for Alice Cooper fans...
