Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances
Neil Gaiman
Multiple award winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman returns to dazzle, captivate, haunt, and entertain with this third collection of short fiction following Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things--which includes a never-before published American Gods story, "Black Dog," written exclusively for this volume.
In this new anthology, Neil Gaiman pierces the veil of reality to reveal the enigmatic, shadowy world that lies beneath. Trigger Warning includes previously published pieces of short fiction--stories, verse, and a very special Doctor Who story that was written for the fiftieth anniversary of the beloved series in 2013--as well "Black Dog," a new tale that revisits the world of American Gods, exclusive to this collection.
Trigger Warning explores the masks we all wear and the people we are beneath them to reveal our vulnerabilities and our truest selves. Here is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghosts stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that explore the realm of experience and emotion. In "Adventure Story"--a thematic companion to The Ocean at the End of the Lane--Gaiman ponders death and the way people take their stories with them when they die. His social media experience "A Calendar of Tales" are short takes inspired by replies to fan tweets about the months of the year--stories of pirates and the March winds, an igloo made of books, and a Mother's Day card that portends disturbances in the universe. Gaiman offers his own ingenious spin on Sherlock Holmes in his award-nominated mystery tale "The Case of Death and Honey". And "Click-Clack the Rattlebag" explains the creaks and clatter we hear when we're all alone in the darkness.
A sophisticated writer whose creative genius is unparalleled, Gaiman entrances with his literary alchemy, transporting us deep into the realm of imagination, where the fantastical becomes real and the everyday incandescent. Full of wonder and terror, surprises and amusements, Trigger Warning is a treasury of delights that engage the mind, stir the heart, and shake the soul from one of the most unique and popular literary artists of our day.

The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction
Neil Gaiman
An inquisitive observer, thoughtful commentator, and assiduous craftsman, Neil Gaiman has long been celebrated for the sharp intellect and startling imagination that informs his bestselling fiction. Now, The View from the Cheap Seats brings together for the first time ever more than sixty pieces of his outstanding nonfiction. Analytical yet playful, erudite yet accessible, this cornucopia explores a broad range of interests and topics, including (but not limited to): authors past and present; music; storytelling; comics; bookshops; travel; fairy tales; America; inspiration; libraries; ghosts; and the title piece, at turns touching and self-deprecating, which recounts the author’s experiences at the 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood.
Norse Mythology
Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales.
In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator.
Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Once, when Thor's hammer is stolen, Thor must disguise himself as a woman—difficult with his beard and huge appetite—to steal it back. More poignant is the tale in which the blood of Kvasir—the most sagacious of gods—is turned into a mead that infuses drinkers with poetry. The work culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and rebirth of a new time and people.
Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge these gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.
The Sandman, Vol. 2: The Doll's House
Neil Gaiman
A being who has existed since the beginning of the universe, Dream of the Endless rules over the realm of dreams. In The Doll's House, after a decades-long imprisonment, the Sandman has returned to find that a few dreams and nightmares have escaped to reality. Looking to recapture his lost possessions, Morpheus ventures to the human plane only to learn that a woman named Rose Walker has inadvertently become a dream vortex and threatens to rip apart his world. Now as Morpheus takes on the last escaped nightmare at a serial killers convention, the Lord of Dreams must mercilessly murder Rose or risk the destruction of his entire kingdom.
Collecting issues #9-16, this new edition of The Doll's House features the improved production values and coloring from the Absolute Edition.
How to Talk to Girls at Parties
Neil Gaiman

From the Locus Award-winning short story by Neil Gaiman—one of the most celebrated authors of our time—and adapted in vibrant ink-and-watercolor illustrations by the Daytripper duo of Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon, this original hardcover graphic novel is absolutely not to be missed!
InterWorld (InterWorld, #1)
Neil Gaiman

Teens—and tweens and adults—who obsessively read the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series will be riveted by InterWorld and its sequel, The Silver Dream .
1602: Part One
Neil Gaiman
The start of a whole new Marvel Universe begins here! It's the Marvel Universe in the year 1602.
The Sandman: The Dream Hunters
Neil Gaiman
Sandman fans should feel lucky that master fantasy writer Neil Gaiman discovered the mythical world of Japanese fables while researching his translation of Hayao Miyazaki's film Princess Mononoke. At the same time, while preparing for the Sandman 10th anniversary, he met Yoshitaka Amano, his artist for the 11th Sandman book. Amano is the famed designer of the Final Fantasy game series. The product of Gaiman's immersion in Japanese art, culture, and history, Sandman: Dream Hunters is a classic Japanese tale (adapted from "The Fox, the Monk, and the Mikado of All Night's Dreaming") that he has subtly morphed into his Sandman universe.
Like most fables, the story begins with a wager between two jealous animals, a fox and a badger: which of them can drive a young monk from his solitary temple? The winner will make the temple into a new fox or badger home. But as the fox adopts the form of a woman to woo the monk from his hermitage, she falls in love with him. Meanwhile, in far away Kyoto, the wealthy Master of Yin-Yang, the onmyoji, is plagued by his fears and seeks tranquility in his command of sorcery. He learns of the monk and his inner peace; he dispatches demons to plague the monk in his dreams and eventually kill him to bring his peace to the onmyoji. The fox overhears the demons on their way to the monk and begins her struggle to save the man whom at first she so envied.
Dream Hunters is a beautiful package. From the ink-brush painted endpapers to the luminous page layouts--including Amano's gate-fold painting of Morpheus in a sea of reds, oranges, and violets--this book has been crafted for a sensuous reading experience. Gaiman has developed as a prose stylist in the last several years with novels and stories such as Neverwhere and Stardust, and his narrative rings with a sense of timelessness and magic that gently sustains this adult fairy tale. The only disappointment here is that the book is so brief. One could imagine this creative team being even better suited to a longer story of more epic proportions. On the final page of Dream Hunters, in fact, Amano suggest that he will collaborate further with Mr. Gaiman in the future. Readers of Dream Hunters will hope that Amano's dream comes true. --Patrick O'Kelley

Neil Gaiman
The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring....
In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close.
The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.
Only it's different.
At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane
Neil Gaiman
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.

Neil Gaiman
THE SANDMAN: THE DREAM HUNTERS is a comics adaptation of Gaiman's original prose novella by the same name illustrated by Yoshitako Amano. This graphic novel was illustrated by the legendary P. Craig Russell. A humble young monk and a magical, shape-changing fox find themselves romantically drawn together.

With the aid of Morpheus, the fox must use all of her cunning and creative thinking to foil this evil scheme and save the man that she loves.
Harlequin Valentine
Neil Gaiman
In this modern hardcover retelling of a classic commedia dell'arte legend of tomfoolery and hopeless, fawning love, creators Neil Gaiman (The Sandman, the Newbery Medal-winning The Graveyard Book) and John Bolton (Evil Dead) update the relationship of Harlequin and Columbine. A buffoon burdened with a brimming heart, Harlequin chases his sensible, oblivious Columbine around the city streets, having given his heart freely. Consumed with love, the impulsive clown sees his heart dragged about town, with a charming surprise to bend the tale in a modern direction. Gaiman's writing is poetic and as heartfelt as the subject matter. Bolton's art, a combination of digitally enhanced photorealism and dynamic painting, provides sensational depth with bright characters over fittingly muted backgrounds. Those who have spent Valentine's Day alone are aware that the cold February holiday can be hard to swallow. Gaiman and Bolton want you to know that all it takes is a steak knife, a fork, and a bottle of quality ketchup!

Norrøne guder
Neil Gaiman
I denne gjenfortellingen av gamle norrøne myter begynner Gaiman på klassisk vis med verdens skapelse – og ender med ragnarok. Men med sin komprimerte og humoristiske fortellerstil får Gaiman frem nye sider ved historiene. Norrøne guder - fra Yggdrasil til ragnarok er en fantastisk introduksjon til norrøn mytologi for dem som ikke allerede kjenner den – og en ny og annerledes tilnærming for andre.
Neil Gaiman ble født i England i 1960, men har de siste årene bodd i USA. Etter at han slo gjennom med tegneserien Sandman, har han skrevet en rekke kritikerroste bøker for barn og voksne, inkludert Neverwhere, Stjernestøv, Amerikanske guder, Kirkegårdsboken og Coraline. Han har en stor tilhengerskare over hele verden og blir av mange regnet som en av de største fornyerne av fantasysjangeren.

Mitologia Nórdica
Neil Gaiman
As lendas nórdicas sempre tiveram uma forte influência no universo de Neil Gaiman. Neste novo livro, o multipremiado autor regressou às suas fontes para criar quinze contos relacionados com a grande saga dos deuses escandinavos, que inspiraram a sua obra-prima Deuses Americanos.
Da génese do mundo ao crepúsculo dos deuses e à era dos homens, eles readquirem vida: Odin, o mais poderoso dos deuses, sábio, corajoso e astuto; Thor, seu filho, incrivelmente forte mas turbulento; Loki, filho de um gigante e irmão de Odin, ardiloso e manipulador... Orgulhosas, impulsivas e arrebatadoras, estas divindades míticas transmitem-nos a sua apaixonante - e muito humana - história.

Deuses Americanos (Deuses Americanos, #1)
Neil Gaiman
Obra-prima de Neil Gaiman, Deuses americanos é relançado pela Intrínseca com conteúdo extra, em Edição Preferida do Autor.
Deuses americanos é, acima de tudo, um livro estranho. E foi essa estranheza que tornou o romance de Neil Gaiman, publicado pela primeira vez em 2001, um clássico imediato. Nesta nova edição, preferida do autor, o leitor encontrará capítulos revistos e ampliados, artigos, uma entrevista com Gaiman e um inspirado texto de introdução.
A saga de Deuses americanos é contada ao longo da jornada de Shadow Moon, um ex-presidiário de trinta e poucos anos que acabou de ser libertado e cujo único objetivo é voltar para casa e para a esposa, Laura. Os planos de Shadow se transformam em poeira quando ele descobre que Laura morreu em um acidente de carro. Sem lar, sem emprego e sem rumo, ele conhece Wednesday, um homem de olhar enigmático que está sempre com um sorriso no rosto, embora pareça nunca achar graça de nada.
Depois de apostas, brigas e um pouco de hidromel, Shadow aceita trabalhar para Wednesday e embarca em uma viagem tumultuada e reveladora por cidades inusitadas dos Estados Unidos, um país tão estranho para Shadow quanto para Gaiman. É nesses encontros e desencontros que o protagonista se depara com os deuses - os antigos (que chegaram ao Novo Mundo junto dos imigrantes) e os modernos (o dinheiro, a televisão, a tecnologia, as drogas) -, que estão se preparando para uma guerra que ninguém viu, mas que já começou. O motivo? O poder de não ser esquecido.
O que Gaiman constrói em Deuses americanos é um amálgama de múltiplas referências, uma mistura de road trip, fantasia e mistério - um exemplo máximo da versatilidade e da prosa lúdica e ao mesmo tempo cortante de Neil Gaiman, que, ao falar sobre deuses, fala sobre todos nós.

A série conta a história de Morfeus, um dos Perpétuos (criaturas análogas aos deuses, mas ainda maiores) responsável pelo Mundo dos Sonhos. Ele controla e tem acesso a todos os sonhos da humanidade e de todas as criaturas capazes de sonhar, sendo o senhor do Mundo dos Sonhos. Quando uma ordem mística tentou capturar a irmã de Sonho - a Morte - em seu lugar eles capturaram Morfeus. Assustados com o que conseguiram, os membros da ordem o mantiveram cativo. E assim teve início um período de diversas décadas em que esse Perpétuo ficou trancafiado à mercê de seus captores, deixando o Mundo dos Sonhos abandonado e os sonhadores desamparados. A série revela como ele se libertou e como foi capaz de se adaptar ao mundo após tantos anos de ausência, e também mostra um vislumbre de sua história e da mitologia dos Perpétuos.

Coraline
Neil Gaiman
The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring....
In Coraline's family's new flat are twenty-one windows and fourteen doors. Thirteen of the doors open and close.
The fourteenth is locked, and on the other side is only a brick wall, until the day Coraline unlocks the door to find a passage to another flat in another house just like her own.
Only it's different.
At first, things seem marvelous in the other flat. The food is better. The toy box is filled with wind-up angels that flutter around the bedroom, books whose pictures writhe and crawl and shimmer, little dinosaur skulls that chatter their teeth. But there's another mother, and another father, and they want Coraline to stay with them and be their little girl. They want to change her and never let her go.
Other children are trapped there as well, lost souls behind the mirrors. Coraline is their only hope of rescue. She will have to fight with all her wits and all the tools she can find if she is to save the lost children, her ordinary life, and herself.
Critically acclaimed and award-winning author Neil Gaiman will delight readers with his first novel for all ages.

Miti del Nord
Neil Gaiman
Odino il supremo, saggio, audace e astuto; Thor, suo figlio, incredibilmente forte ma non certo il più intelligente fra gli dèi; e Loki, figlio di un gigante, fratello di sangue di Odino, insuperabile e scaltrissimo manipolatore. Sono alcuni dei protagonisti che animano il nuovo libro di Neil Gaiman: noto per essersi ispirato spesso ai miti dell'antichità nel creare universi e personaggi fantastici, questa volta Gaiman ci offre una formidabile riscrittura dei grandi miti del Nord. Lungo un arco narrativo che inizia con la genesi dei nove leggendari mondi, ripercorriamo le avventure e le gesta di dèi, nani e giganti.Tra i racconti più avventurosi ci sono quello di Thor, che, per riprendersi il martello che gli è stato rubato, è costretto a travestirsi da donna, un'impresa non da poco considerando la sua barba e il suo sconfinato appetito; o quello di Kvasir - il più saggio fra gli dèi - il cui sangue viene trasformato in un idromele che colma di poesia chi lo assaggia. Il finale del libro invece è dedicato a Ragnarok, il giorno del giudizio, il crepuscolo degli dèi, ma anche la nascita di un nuovo tempo e nuovi popoli.Brillante e divertente, Miti del Nord è una magistrale carrellata del pantheon scandinavo e della bizzarra natura degli dèi: ferocemente competitivi, capricciosi, predisposti all'inganno e a farsi governare dalle passioni. Un universo antico, ricco e affascinante a cui la penna vibrante di Gaiman è in grado di infondere una vita nuova e decisamente attuale.

Okean na kraju puteljka
Neil Gaiman
Saseks, Engleska. Sredovečni čovek se vraća u svoj detinji dom kako bi prisustvovao sahrani. Iako je kuća u kojoj je živeo odavno porušena, nešto ga vuče ka farmi na kraju puta gde je, kada je imao sedam godina, susreo izuzetnu devojčicu po imenu Leti Hempstok i njenu majku i baku. Već decenijama nije ni pomislio na Leti, a ipak, dok sedi iza oronule stare farme pokraj jezerceta (jezerceta za koje je ona tvrdila da je okean), preplavljuje ga nezapamćena prošlost. A ta prošlost je isuviše čudna, zastrašujuća i opasna da bi se bilo kome desila, a kamoli malenom dečaku.
Četrdeset godina ranije, neko je počinio samoubistvo u ukradenom automobilu na toj farmi na kraju puta. Ta smrt je, poput vatrometa, pripalila fitilj i odjeknula na nezamisliv način. Oslobođen je mrak, nešto jezivo i krajnje nepojmljivo malom detetu. A Leti – čarobna, umirujuća, prepametna za svoj uzrast – obećala je da će ga po svaku cenu zaštititi.
Inovativno delo majstora pripovedanja, Okean na kraju puteljka je ispričan sa nesvakidašnjim razumevanjem svega onoga što nas čini ljudima; Gejmen nam pokazuje moć priča kako bi otkrio tamu koja vreba u nama i oko nas i zaštitio nas od nje. Ovo je potresna, zastrašujuća i elegična bajka, krhka kao leptirovo krilo, preteća kao nož u tami.
Nordijska mitologija
Neil Gaiman
Pripovedački majstor Nil Gejmen predstavlja vam čuvene nordijske mitove u novom svetlu.
Gejmen u drevnoj mitologiji odavno nalazi nadahnuće za maštovite svetove svog stvaralaštva. U ovoj knjizi on se vraća na izvorište i prenosi nordijske pripovesti u skraćenom i prilagođenom obliku; ove drevne priče čitaju se gotovo kao roman. Povest počinje stvaranjem devet svetova iz legende, detaljno se bavi doživljajima bogova, patuljaka i divova, i dostiže vrhunac kada nastupi Ragnarok, sumrak bogova i ponovno rođenje sveta i ljudi.
Kroz elegantnu i duhovitu Gejmenovu prozu stičemo uvid u žestoka rivalstva između bogova, njihovu lakovernost i ljubav prema obmani, pratimo njihove postupke vođene strastima. Gejmen jeste ostao veran mitovima, ali je udahnuo nov život Odinu, vrhovnom bogu, mudrom, smelom i lukavom, potom Toru, Odinovom sinu, neverovatno snažnom a ipak ne najmudrijem među bogovima, i Lokiju, sinu divova, prevarantu i neprevaziđenom spletkarošu.
„Uz malo slobodnije, modernije tumačenja poznatih priča, Gejmen se sladi sitnim spletkama bogova koliko i njihovim junačkim delima. U ovim čitljivim, prepričanim mitovima, uobrazilja je uvrnuta, stvarna i zlokobna.“ Boston Globe
„Napeto, izuzetno zanimljivo i divno; čuvene priče u novom ruhu. Kada uhvatite blistavi ritam ove proze, uživaćete u čitanju i nećete želeti da stanete, opčinjeni Gejmenovim veštim pripovedanjem.“ Washington Post
Knjiga o groblju
Neil Gaiman
Da bi se ovo dete odgajilo, biće potrebno više od ove dve dobre duše – reče Sajlas. – Biće potrebno celo groblje.
Niko Ovens, za prijatelje Iko, sasvim je običan dečak. To jest, bio bi sasvim običan da ne živi na groblju, gde ga podižu i obrazuju duhovi, dok je njegov jedini staratelj biće koje ne pripada ni svetu živih ni svetu mrtvih. Ika na groblju očekuju opasnosti i pustolovine: čudnovata i užasna pretnja – Slir, prolaz iza nadgrobnog spomenika koji vodi u grad gulova, prijateljstvo s vešticom i još mnogo toga. Ali prava opasnost vreba u svetu živih, jer tamo živi Čovek zvani Džek, koji je pobio Ikovu porodicu.
Očaravajuća priča o ljubavi i prijateljstvu koji se rađaju tamo gde se to najmanje može očekivati, ovaj roman sa ilustracijama nagrađivanog Krisa Ridla dobitnik je ugledne medalje Njuberi za 2009.

A través de diecisiete ficciones y poemas escalofriantes, esta antología propone un recorrido único por la obra literaria del multipremiado autor de Coraline y Sandman. Todo el potencial del universo gaimaniano toma forma en laberintos, realidades paralelas, mundos ominosos…, donde el escenario se torna impredecible y el espacio y el tiempo devienen sustancias maleables. Los seres más infernales habitan estas historias, que deleitarán a los amantes de la fantasía y del realismo mágico.
En Invocaciones, Caruso recompone estos textos perturbadores en un viaje que es, a su vez, el espejo de nuestros miedos más profundos. Sus esgrafiados juegan con la doblez de cuerpos y conforman una fauna variopinta que nutre el concepto de lo monstruoso. La obra del artista argentino transita por los símbolos de la otredad, a la par que dialoga con la belleza de un romanticismo oscuro.

From the mind of master storyteller Neil Gaiman
Young Jack's world was full of ghosts and ghouls, but one monster - a ravenous and hideous troll - would haunt him long into manhood. As the beast sups upon a lifetime of Jack's fear and regret, Jack must find the courage within himself to face the fiend once and for all.
Beautifully adapted by Colleen Doran (The Sandman, Stan Lee's Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir), a gorgeous new addition to your Gaiman library.
Hearts, Keys, and Puppetry
Neil Gaiman
"Sam was brushing her hair when the girl in the mirror put down the hairbrush, smiled, and said, "We don't love you anymore." So began the Twitter Audio project, with a dazzling first line penned by New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman. What followed was an epic tale of imaginary lands, magical objects, haunting melodies, plucky sidekicks, menacing villains, and much more.
From mystical blue roses to enchanted mirrors to pesky puppets, this classic fable was born from the collective creativity of more than one hundred contributors via the social network Twitter.com in a groundbreaking literary experiment. Together, virtual strangers crafted a rollicking story of a young girl's journey with love, forgiveness, and acceptance.
Speaking in Tongues
Neil Gaiman
In Speaking in Tongues, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author Neil Gaiman reads a selection of his own stories and poems:
Instructions "is a poem about what to do if you find yourself in a fairy tale. It is guaranteed to work."
The Facts in the Case of the Disappearance of Miss Finch "is a mostly true story, and it has several real people in it, although I have made no attempt to imitate either Jonathan or Jane while reading it. This is about the only time I’ve ever written a story around a painting – in this case a Frank Frazetta painting of a woman and a sabre-toothed tiger that was the cover image of the magazine in question."
The Price "is more or less true. At least, the narrator in both of these stories is pretty much me, the house is my house, the cats my cats, and the family is my family."
Daughter of Owls "was based on a sculpture by Lisa Snellings of a girl surrounded by owls. I knew the story immediately, but didn’t have a clue what the voice of the story was. I tried it as a poem, and it was terrible. So I wrote it in the voice of a marvelous writer, John Aubrey, and was happy."
The Sea Change "was also inspired by a Lisa Snellings statue, this one of an undersea siren. I wrote it in a tiny mews house in Earls Court, with the beaches of my childhood in my mind, remembering the rattling noises that the sea made when it dragged down the pebbles. It was Kipling who called the sea the “old grey widowmaker”, and it’s a name I’ll not forget."

The Ocean at the End of the Lane: A Novel
Neil Gaiman
"A novel about the truths—some wonderful, some terrible—that children know and adults do not.” —Time Magazine
“They say you cannot go home again, and that is as true as a knife . . .”
A man returns to the site of his childhood home where, years before, he knew a girl named Lettie Hempstock who showed him the most marvelous, dangerous, and outrageous things, but when he gets there he learns that nothing is as he remembered.
Wondrous, imaginative, impossible, and at times deeply scary, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is classic Neil Gaiman and has captured the hearts of readers everywhere.
