What Neverwhere is like to read
A wry, brisk urban-fantasy portal quest where a milquetoast Londoner tumbles into a shadow city of monsters, marquises, and murderous thugs. Gaiman's dry wit and vivid grotesques carry it — propulsive but more whimsical than truly frightening. Best for: readers who want cozy-macabre urban fantasy with a fairy-tale spine and dry British humor.
