Neil Gaiman writes fantasy, mythic fiction, children's books, comics and short stories, often allowing old stories and supernatural figures to intrude into recognisably modern places. American Gods follows Shadow Moon across the United States as older gods brought by immigrants face newer forms of worship, while Neverwhere sends an ordinary Londoner into a hidden city of markets, monsters and forgotten people beneath the capital. Coraline is a shorter children's fantasy about a girl who finds an apparently improved version of her family behind a secret door, and The Graveyard Book follows a boy raised by ghosts. Gaiman's work can be dark, funny or fairy-tale-like, with narrative voices that remain accessible even when the mythology is elaborate. His books fit contemporary fantasy, myth retellings and dark children's fantasy, with readership overlap with Terry Pratchett, Susanna Clarke and Diana Wynne Jones. Read more Less
