ISBN: 096103526-9. These authors invite you to tour the Shambles, that historic old Chicago neighborhood which miraculously survived the Great Fire of 1871 ("Ya can't burn Hell," as one local politictian laughingly remarked). A tour of Shambles is brought to you in the finest tradition of Charles Addams and Edward Gorey, our guides Wolfe and Gaiman reveal the best places to visit, eat (and where "not" to accept food under any circumstances). When to begin your walking tour... and when to run. The Shambles has been called a place of dark magic and deadly menace. And with Gaiman and Wolfe it's a "helluva" lot of fun... and I mean that. --Dave
