I make things up and write them down. Which takes us from comics (like SANDMAN) to novels (like ANANSI BOYS and AMERICAN GODS) to short stories (some are collected in SMOKE AND MIRRORS) and to occasionally movies (like Dave McKean's MIRRORMASK or the NEVERWHERE TV series, or my own short film A SHORT FILM ABOUT JOHN BOLTON).
In my spare time I read and sleep and eat and try to keep the blog at www.neilgaiman.com more or less up to date.
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.

我不說這本書。也不說尼爾·蓋曼。 當對《石頭記》《靈谿詞說》一知半解的時候,我在昆德拉馬爾剋斯等一幫人的筆緻下驚心動魄。 我托著臉望著他們。 鄭姐姐正在擺談,詩人在這個時代還沒餓死,這真是個奇跡。 熊大大轉瞭轉手上的金戒指,楚辭洛神東坡肘子,一口茶後,一一信...
評分 評分這些年下來,尼爾蓋曼的書斷斷續續也看瞭不少。印象中它們大多是溫暖的,這種溫暖可以包裹在傳說故事中(《星塵》),也可以經由驚悚懸疑的調調慢慢抽絲剝繭引齣(《蜘蛛男孩》),甚至可以以哥特的風格呈現齣來(《墳場之書》)。題材風格於小說隻是一種錶現形式,而作者...
評分奇幻大師尼爾蓋曼的《車道盡頭的海洋》講的是一個7歲的小男孩的故事。他的童年生活並不幸福。幸虧認識瞭住在車道盡頭那傢的女孩萊蒂,纔給童年帶來一絲亮色。她傢後院裏有一個小小的水塘,可是萊蒂卻堅持說這是一個海洋。萊蒂帶他進入到一個奇幻世界曆險,卻無意中把妖怪帶迴現...

明明還是兒童小說。
評分太溫柔的一本小書。尼爾蓋曼怎麼能記得那麼多的事情。童年那麼多恐懼,不應該隨著年紀被一把又一把時間的土埋得嚴嚴實實嗎。
評分真的還蠻恐怖的情節,跟《鬼媽媽》類似的孩童視角,感覺這部也很適閤拍電影。描寫貓咪的部分很可愛。另外,很喜歡這本書的名字❤ #海豚推薦
評分在亞馬遜上買的的第一本書,第一本塞進Kindle的書,第一本讀完的蓋曼的原文書,太有紀念意義瞭。
評分海裏那段非常美,總感覺那個pond是子宮的隱喻,特彆是“So you used to know everything?" "Everybody did."那段。蓋曼自己念的有聲書小孩子和老太太的聲調處理得很好,還獻歌兩段XDDD
