A little more Gaiman

I was just jumping around on the internet when I stumbled on a little more Gaiman info. "Neverwhere," which is about an Underground London, very similar to Bod's graveyard, was a TV series in 1996! I have no clue how good this was, but I'm definitely going to check in on it. Also, for anyone who isn't quite ready to delve into the truly crazy world of Gaiman's writing, I highly suggest you read "Good Omens." It's an easy and hilarious read. I added a link in the title to a picture of Gaiman's Death from Sandman. The man on the left is Dream, or the Sandman. He looks a LOT like Gaiman, though I've never really looked much into it.

I believe Gaiman's novel Neverwhere was based on his own teleplay for the TV series, rather than vice versa, as normally happens. Both are recommended, though I think the novel is better.

One of the things that I realized about Gaiman is that he wrote Coraline. I saw the movie in theaters and it really creeped me out! It still does whenever I see it on HBO or whatever.

In regards to the show Neverwhere, it is currently available on Netflix if you are interested in checking it out. I did, but I was not precisely a fan of the show. The combination of the age of the show and the fact that it is very British was disconcerting.
