NeverWhere
Neil Gaiman Avon 1999 PB 390pp
"The night before he went to London, Richard Mayhew was not enjoying himself"
Gaiman is such a classic storyteller. This is a true rise-of-the-hero tale - Richard the weak to Richard the Brave. Set in/under the London Underground, a strange,spooky low level horror world co-existing with ours, populated by those who have fallen through the cracks of our society - literally. Richard saves a girl with 'powers' who is seeking those who murdered her family. Extra points for Mr Croup and Mr Vandemar. And the Marquis
Why is this not a film?!

Darkness and humour worked very well together, and I LOVED one of the nasties gobbling up the ming cat.
