6/29/2023 0 Comments Neverwhere by Neil GaimanThe world created by Gaiman to distinguish between the two Londons is both amazing and frightening, for London Below is the darker scarier version that is usually kept a secret from the world. In this one, Neverwhere tells the tale of Richard Mayhew, a common guy working in London Above (the London we know to exist) who gets thrown into London Below against his will after helping out a girl, Door, who belonged in that world. Neverwhere is my third Gaiman book and I believe with each book of his I read, I fall more in love in the worlds he constructs beautifully. And a strange destiny awaits him down here, beneath his native city: Neverwhere. 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. Richard Mayhew, a young businessman, is going to find out more than enough about this other London. This is the city of the people who have fallen between the cracks. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, knights in armour and pale girls in black velvet. Under the streets of London there’s a place most people could never even dream of.
