The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains

The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains: A Tale of Travel and Darkness with Pictures of All KindsThe Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains: A Tale of Travel and Darkness with Pictures of All Kinds by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Borrowed the audiobook for this tale from my local library - and couldn't stop listening! This story is fast-paced and gets right to the point, without feeling rushed.

Our main character, a dwarf, enlists the help of a man rumored to know the location of secret gold-filled cave on a mysterious isle. We quickly learn that this small man is not to be underestimated, for he holds many secrets... but so does the man he hires to be his guide.

The end comes quickly and surprisingly, with a twist you feel you should've seen coming. If you get the chance, definitely give this short story a read!
