Neverwhere: The Author's Preferred Text

National Bestseller

From #1 New York Times bestselling author
Neil Gaiman, a novel of bold creativity and narrative genius that brings to
life a world most people could never even dream of―one of ten classic Gaiman
works repackaged with elegant original watercolor art by acclaimed artist Henry
Sene Yee

Under the streets of London there’s a
world most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints,
murderers and angels. This is the city of the people who have fallen between
the cracks. A single act of kindness to a ragged girl he finds injured on the
street catapults young businessman Richard Mayhew out of his workaday life into
a world that is both familiar and threateningly bizarre.
Displaying bold creativity and narrative
genius, Neverwhere is a dark, funny, and seductive tale that has become
a contemporary literary touchstone.

My favorite book by one of my favorite authors. It's been too long since I read it to give much in the way of detailed review, but I recall being entirely enchanted.

The very best narrative I've read of a man going from being nothing to becoming something. Fanciful and taut with tension, I loved EVERY moment therein.

Totally hillarious and fantastical. I loved every minute of it and will now try to watch the BBC mini-series.

Neil Gaiman is certainly an excellent writer but this was just too dark for me personally.

Neil Gaiman is a literary genius and his books showcase all of his wild and crazy imaginative thoughts when it comes to telling a story! I've never read a Gaiman book I didn't like, each one gets better and better.
