I was a little freaked out when I read it and I read this around ten years ago. It’s a middle-grade read, but perfect for Halloween spooks. If you’ve never read anything by Neil Gaiman, I would start with Coraline. It also sounds hilarious, which I can’t resist. I’m so excited about this one especially because of the duality between Life and Death as well as Good and Evil. However, an angel and a demon who have lived on Earth since The Beginning are a little against the plans their superiors have for Earth. It’s the story about the apocalypse and how the prophecy was about to take place. I love reading a book before a new show starts and this one looks to be a really entertaining one. This month, I’ll be reading Good Omens by both Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett in anticipation of the new TV show. You just have to let yourself see the magic to believe it. I’ve always been fond of this kind of writing because I’m a strong believer that magic exists everywhere. The people who move under your feet when you’re walking down the street and the adventures happening while you sleep. His books are always a sneak peek into an underground world, a place that exists within space and time but you just don’t see it. Every time I think of Coraline or Neverwhere, I immediately think he needs to do a collaboration with Tim Burton to make those movies. He’s dark and a little bit scary, but his stories have so much heart to them.
While the master of the fantastical and dreary, Neil Gaiman always reminds me of the bookish Tim Burton.
If you were to ask me who is the author I always buy time and time again, it would be Neil Gaiman.
There’s so many to choose from, but I’m going with the tried and true blue team (at least for me). In honor of Fall Fantasy, I’ll be spotlighting on some of my favorite fantasy authors this month.
