The Dangerous Alphabet《很一般》

by Neil Gaiman，今天收到了，薄薄的一本，总共20页。讲俩个小孩拿着一张藏宝图历险的故事。这个故事是这样的：

A is for "Always" that's where we embark;

B is for Boat pushing off in the dark;

C is the way that we find and we look;

D is for "Diamonds" the bait on the hook;

E's for the "Evil" that lures and entices;

F is for "Fear" and its many devices;

G is for "Good" as in hero and Morning;

H is for "Help Me!" -- a cry and a warning;

I am the author who scratches these rhymes;

J is the joke monsters make of their crimes;

K's but a Kiss--lovers glow with elation;

L is like 'eaven their last destination;

M is for "Mirrors" you'll stare in forever;

N is for "Night" and for Nothing and Never;

O is for "Ovens" far under the street;

P is for "Piracy" blunt or discreet;

Q is for "Quiet" (bar one muffled scream);

R is a "River" that flows like a dream;

S is for--somewhere--a Skull and its Smile;

T is for "Treasure" heaped into a pile;

U are the reader who shivers with dread;

W's "Warnings" went over your head;

V is for "Vile" deeds done in the night;

X marked the spot if we read the map right;

Y's your last qusetion the end of the ring;

(Z waits alone and it's not for a thing).

----end of the story.

不对，应该是end of the book。

好吧，我承认有点上当的感觉，恐怖故事也不是这样打发人的吧？当然书很精美，图画也的确够鬼魅，是我的错没有仔细做研究，以为是小说就买了回来，原来，却只是诡异版的几米。还要18刀！不过我也不得不承认，这个书很有迷惑人的气质，就这么十几页的图画，我也翻来覆去看了好几遍，配合着文字看图，的确有独特的吸引人的魅力。
