Neverwhere
by Neil Gaiman
Review by M. Frank Darbe

Modern London filled with faceless, ordinary people is a mask concealing a magical city in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere populated by bizarre and fascinating people living invisibly under the streets and within walls. Richard Mayhew is one of those ordinary people who through an act of kindness saves a wounded bleeding young woman loses his life, his livelihood, and his home. Finding himself literally unseeable by his former friends and lover, he enters the nightmarish magical world of London Beneath.

This book surprised me. I was unfamiliar with Gaiman's work, except in comic books. I found it complex and enjoyable.
