The stories are The Price and The Daughter of Owls. I've read Smoke and Mirrors, but only remembered one of the two stories (The Price) and since it's about a cat, it was, of course, my favourite of the two. In The Price, a beat-up black kitty shows up at a farmhouse, and is taken care of, but the cat continues to get beaten up every night. In The Daughter of Owls, an abandoned baby is left in the care of a convent. Like with any book of short stories, I liked the one much better than the other, so my rating reflects a split between them.

From the New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman comes this collection, featuring two magical and disturbing stories lushly adapted to comics by veteran painter Michael Zulli (The Last Temptation). Rewritten by Gaiman for this graphic novel, these two ominous stories from the author's award-winning prose work Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions feature animals and people not being quite what they seem. In "The Price," a black cat like a small panther arrives at a country home and is soon beset by mysterious and vicious wounds. What is he fighting every night that could do this, and why does he persist? "The Daughter of Owls" recounts an eerie old tale of a foundling girl who was left with an owl pellet as a newborn on the steps of the Dymton Church. She was soon cloistered away in a local convent, but by her fourteenth year word of her beauty had spread-and those who would prey upon her faced unforeseen consequences.
