Neverwhere is home to Door, the mysterious girl Richard helped in the London Above. 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. He stops to help her-an act of kindness that plunges him into a world he never dreamed existed. 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. 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. 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". "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
