Summary
Richard Mayhew is a young man with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never dreamed existed. There are people who fall through the cracks, and Richard has become one of them. And he must learn to survive in this city of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels, if he is ever to return to the London that he knew.
"A fantastic story that is both the stuff of dreams and nightmares" (San Diego Union-Tribune), Neil Gaiman's first solo novel has become a touchstone of urban fantasy, and a perennial favorite of readers everywhere.
Quotes from the Critics
"In spite of the generic title, Neil Gaiman's 'Neverwhere' is as good a fantasy as one is likely to find on current bookshelves. Indeed, the title is one of the few ordinary things about this first full-length work by an author of popular 'graphic novels'....The plot is well-structured, the prose style is frequently excellent, the research on London's history thorough...and the characters endearing--even the wicked ones." - Washington Post Book World
"Readers who've enjoyed the fantasy novels of Tim Powers and William Browning Spencer won't want to miss this one. And, yes, Virginia, there really are alligators in those sewers--and Gaiman makes you believe it." - Kirkus
