The Graveyard Book
Bookgasm (Free subscription) | 10/10/2008
Neil Gaiman returns to young-adult territory with THE GRAVEYARD BOOK, a low-stakes, high-reward riff on Rudyard Kipling’s THE JUNGLE BOOK, charting the childhood of Nobody Owens, a boy raised not by animals in the wild, but by spirits in the cemetery. In the opening pages, the child’s entire family is slaughtered by a knife-wielding man known [...]

I just found this...
Neil Gaiman's Journal (Free subscription) | 24/09/2008
This was over at Mousecircus.com , the junior site, on the front page. I'd heard that the whole site was going to get a makeover, and finally get out of Flash animation, but it hasn't happened quite yet. This counter was sitting there, below the Dave McKean mouse orchestra drawing, telling me that the Graveyard Book would be out in six days, six hours and eleven minutes. I thought about waiting another...

Salvaged: The Art of Jason Felix
Bookgasm (Free subscription) | 08/09/2008
I had never heard of Jason Felix before SALVAGED: THE ART OF JASON FELIX landed at my door. Apparently he’s a video game artist, which surprises me, because on the basis of this book, I’d think his employment was limited to conjuring up fucking nightmares. The impressive works on display in this handsome art title are [...]

Read Neverwhere for free
wongaBlog (Free subscription) | 03/09/2008
Neverwhere, my favourite of Neil Gaiman’s novels, is now available for free. It can be read online, or downloaded as an eBook (you’ll need Adobe Digital Editions). Both will expire after 30 days, which is a bit of a shame, if understandable. Bizarrely, the two versions are a little different, with the an underground map online [...]

Of cats and eternity
{ Never Neutral } (Free subscription) | 03/09/2008
We have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time – of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances – of our knowing perfectly what will be said [...]
