The Truth Is A Cave In The Black Mountains by Neil Gaiman #review

You ask me if I can forgive myself?
I can forgive myself…

And so begins The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains, a haunting story of family, the otherworld, and a search for hidden treasure. This gorgeous full-color illustrated book version was born of a unique collaboration between New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman and renowned artist Eddie Campbell, who brought to vivid life the characters and landscape of Gaiman’s award-winning story. In this volume, the talents and vision of two great creative geniuses come together in a glorious explosion of color and shadow, memory and regret, vengeance and, ultimately, love.

…for many things. For where I left him.
For what I did.

A curious tale that I had to get from the library when I saw that it was by Neil Gaiman. I didn’t know he wrote this one and super interesting to find out after I read it that this was one he read at the Sydney Opera House. Illustrated which adds effect to the tale but not for children. This is a grown up folk tale which is the same type of tale as my last Neil Gaiman read though vastly different in the story told. Revenge and forgiveness but these aspects don’t come to light until near the end. Things are not as they appear nor the characters. At 100 pages its a super fast read and one I’d highly recommend.
