NEVERWHERE , by Neil Gaiman. HarperTorch 78901-9. 2001. Mass Market Paperback. Later Printing. 370 numbered pages. VG.
This is Gaiman's debut as a solo novelist, and an auspicious debut it is. Richard Mayhew is a simple man with a good heart -- and an ordinary life that is altered forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. From that moment forward he is propelled into a world he never knew existed -- a dark subculture flourishing in abandoned subway stations and sewer tunnels below the city -- a world far stranger and more dangerous than the only one he has ever known. "A dark contemporary Alice in Wonderland... imaginative, well-crafted and highly visual." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune. "Neverwhere displays the kind of wit, mythological invention and attention to the odd detail that will be familiar to anyone who has read Gaiman's groundbreaking comic series The Sandman. " -- San Francisco Examiner. "Nobody in his field is better than this." -- Peter Straub.
Condition is Very Good. Some edgewear to covers and ends of spine, tiny scratches to front cover near front of spine, tiny nick to top edge of back cover and spine's back hinge, mild internal tanning. Overall a tight, shiny, collectable copy that appears unread.
