Under ​the streets of London there's a place most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, knights in armour and pale girls in black velvet. This is the city of the people who have fallen between the cracks. Richard Mayhew, a young businessman, is going to find out more than enough about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his workday existence and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and utterly bizarre. And a strange destiny awaits him down here, beneath his native city: neverwhere.

God ​is dead. Meet the kids. When Fat Charlie's dad named something, it stuck. Like calling Fat Charlie "Fat Charlie." Even now, twenty years later, Charlie Nancy can't shake that name, one of the many embarrassing "gifts his father bestowed - before he dropped dead on a karaoke stage and ruined Fat Charlie's life. Mr. Nancy left Fat Charlie things. Things like the tall good-looking stranger who appears on Charlie's doorstep, who appears to be the brother he never knew. A brother as different from Charlie as night is to day, a brother who's going to show Charlie how to lighten up and have a little fun...just like Dear Old Dad. And all of a sudden, life starts getting very interesting for Fat Charlie. Because, you see, Charlie's dad wasn't just any dad. He was Anansi, a trickster god, the spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion -- he is able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, and baffle the devil. Exciting, scary, and deeply funny, Anansi Boys is a kaleidoscope journey deep into myth, a wild adventure, and a fierce and unstoppable farce, as Neil Gaiman shows us where gods come from, and how to survive your family.

Neil Gaiman - Terry Pratchett - Good ​Omens
There ​is a distinct hint of Armageddon in the air. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, the Four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witch-finders are getting ready to fight the good fight, armed with awkwardly antiquated instructions and stick pins. Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. . . . Right. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon -- each of whom has lived among Earth's mortals for many millennia and has grown rather fond of the lifestyle -- are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. If Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the Antichrist (which is a shame, as he's a really nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. . . . First published in 1990, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's brilliantly dark and screamingly funny take on humankind's final judgment is back -- and just in time -- in a new hardcover edition (which includes an introduction by the authors, comments by each about the other, and answers to some still-burning questions about their wildly popular collaborative effort) that the devout and the damned alike will surely cherish until the end of all things.

Neil Gaiman - Coraline ​(angol)
Coraline ​lives with her preoccupied parents in part of a huge old house--a house so huge that other people live in it, too... round, old former actresses Miss Spink and Miss Forcible and their aging Highland terriers ("We trod the boards, luvvy") and the mustachioed old man under the roof ("'The reason you cannot see the mouse circus,' said the man upstairs, 'is that the mice are not yet ready and rehearsed.'") Coraline contents herself for weeks with exploring the vast garden and grounds. But with a little rain she becomes bored--so bored that she begins to count everything blue (153), the windows (21), and the doors (14). And it is the 14th door that--sometimes blocked with a wall of bricks--opens up for Coraline into an entirely alternate universe. Now, if you're thinking fondly of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, you're on the wrong track. Neil Gaiman's Coraline is far darker, far stranger, playing on our deepest fears. And, like Roald Dahl's work, it is delicious.

Stephen King - Világnagy ​strand
Egyik ​novelláskötetének ajánlásában King beszélgetésre invitálja az olvasót. S nem akármilyen csevegésre. Beszélgessünk a félelmekről, a rettegésről - mondja. - Képzeljük magunkat egy elhagyott házba. Kint hideg februári szél fúj, vigasztalanul esik az eső. Ilyen időben az embert egyszerűen elhagyja az ereje - sugallja az író -, de itt a legjobb alkalom, hogy elgondolkodjunk azon, mi űzi az embert az őrület határáig s még azon túl... A kötetben összeválogatott nyolc novellában izgalmasan keverednek a science fiction, a fantasy és a horror elemei. A színhelyek elhagyott, titokzatos erdei utak, pókhálós padlások, lélegző, eleven sivatagok, űrállomások vagy éppen az ember leghétköznapibb élettere. A történés a fontos, s abban biztos lehet az olvasó, hogy izgalmas, fordulatos s olykor hátborzongató elbeszéléseket tart a kezében.

Neil Gaiman - The ​Ocean at the End of the Lane
The ​Ocean At The End of the Lane is a novel about memory and magic and survival, about the power of stories and the darkness inside each of us. It began for our narrator forty years ago when he was seven: the lodger stole the family's car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Creatures from beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and a menace unleashed -- within his family, and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defense is three women, on a ramshackle farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang. The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac -- as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.

Árnyék élete romokban hever, és ekkor a sors egy különös idegennel hozza össze, aki Szerda néven mutatkozik be, és furcsa módon sokkal többet tud róla, mint ő saját magáról. Szerda munkát ajánl neki, és miközben az események egyre váratlanabb fordulatokat vesznek, Árnyék kénytelen lesz megtanulni, hogy a múlt sohasem hal meg igazából. Mindenkinek, még az ő szeretett Laurájának is voltak titkai, és az álmok, mesék, legendák sokkal valóságosabbak, mint azt korábban gondolta volna. Árnyék számára egyre nyilvánvalóbbá válik, hogy a mindennapi élet nyugodt felszíne alatt különös vihar tombol. Egy háború, amelynek tétje nem más, mint Amerika lelke. Egy háború, amelynek Árnyék hirtelen a kellős közepén találja magát. A Hugo-, Nebula-, Locus-, SFX Magazine- és Bram Stoker-díjas, világszerte elsöprő sikerű regényt most a könyv megjelenésének tizedik évfordulójára kibővített változatban vehetik kezükbe a magyar olvasók.
