Overview
"Neil Gaiman is undoubtedly one of the modern masters of fantasy writing....For those who have not read Neverwhere, the new edition is the one to read, and is a fitting introduction to Gaiman's adult fiction....American readers can experience this spellbinding, magical world the way that Neil Gaiman wanted us to all along." --Huffington Post
The #1 New York Times bestselling author's ultimate edition of his wildly successful first novel featuring his "preferred text"--and including his special Neverwhere tale, "How the Marquis Got His Coat Back".
Published in 1997, Neil Gaiman's darkly hypnotic first novel, Neverwhere, heralded the arrival of a major talent and became a touchstone of urban fantasy.
It is the story of Richard Mayhew, a young London businessman with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he discovers a girl bleeding on the sidewalk. He stops to help her--an act of kindness that plunges him into a world he never dreamed existed. Slipping through the cracks of reality, Richard lands in Neverwhere--a London of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels that exists entirely in a subterranean labyrinth. Neverwhere is home to Door, the mysterious girl Richard helped in the London Above. Here in Neverwhere, Door is a powerful noblewoman who has vowed to find the evil agent of her family's slaughter and thwart the destruction of this strange underworld kingdom. If Richard is ever to return to his former life and home, he must join Lady Door's quest to save her world--and may well die trying.

Superb Fantasy Read #SummerReading
Sarah U. - 6 years 4 months agoThis book was a lot of fun! I love the world of London Below and that Gaiman filled it with so many colorful and interesting characters. I can't wait for the next book in this series to be released! I have been converted to a full on Gaiman stan this year and now I suggest his work to anyone who will listen. #SummerReading

Greatest author of all time
Danielle M. - 6 years 5 months agoThis is the first book I ever read by Neil Gaiman, but it definitely wasn't the last! I was immediately hooked and he is now my favorite author. He has something for everyone: novels, short stories, children's books, graphic novels, screenplays, movies, essays... he does it all!
