The #1 New York Times bestselling author’s wildly successful first novel featuring his fresh Neverwhere tale, “How the Marquis Got His Coat Back.”

Richard Mayhew is usually a young man with an excellent heart and an ordinary life, which is normally changed forever when he stops to help a woman he finds bleeding on the London sidewalk. His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never imagined existed. You can find individuals who fall through the breaks, and Richard has become one of these. And he must figure out how to survive with this town of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels, if he’s ever to come back to the London that he knew.

“A fantastic tale that is both stuff of dreams and nightmares” (San Diego Union-Tribune), Neil Gaiman’s initial solo novel has become a touchstone of urban illusion, and a perennial beloved of visitors everywhere.

“Delightful … inventively horrific.”
