Description
一件小小的善行，讓理查．馬修在一夜之間失去了一切：婚約、工作、住所，他甚至變得「不存在」。而他身處的倫敦，也整個變了樣：憑空出現的地鐵站、百貨公司的深夜市集、獵人與怪獸、服侍老鼠的人、還有恐怖殺手窮追不捨……處處晦暗骯髒，危機密布，卻又奇異華麗。理查為了尋回正常生活，跟隨擁有神奇力量的女孩、身手超凡的沈默保鏢與買賣情報與人情的男子，步上漫長無期的歸程。
背叛的預言是真是假？誰才是滅門血案的幕後黑手？理查會回到他熟悉的倫敦嗎？地上與地下之隔、新舊時光的交錯、傳統與先進的汰換，是否造就了人心的空洞？歡迎來到倫敦的下層世界－－光怪陸離、陰森詭譎、弱肉強食、危機四伏……彷彿噩夢，卻比地上的一切更為貼近真實的地下倫敦。

Under the streets of London there's a place most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, knights in armour and pale girls in black velvet. This is the city of the people who have fallen between the cracks.
Richard Mayhew, a young businessman, is going to find out more than enough about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his workday existence and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and utterly bizarre. And a strange destiny awaits him down here, beneath his native city: neverwhere.
This is the first Neil Gaiman book I've read, after watching a lot of his work on TV to start with. This is, hand down, one of the best books I've read. The characters are a mix of very interesting, mysterious, and lovable. And the world he creates has great mystery and depth.
