National Bestseller

Selected as one of NPR’s Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of All Time

The #1 New York Times bestselling author’s wildly successful first novel featuring his new Neverwhere tale, “How the Marquis Got His Coat Back.”

Richard Mayhew is a young man with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never dreamed existed. There are people who fall through the cracks, and Richard has become one of them. And he must learn to survive in this city of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels, if he is ever to return to the London that he knew.

“A fantastic story that is both the stuff of dreams and nightmares” (San Diego Union-Tribune), Neil Gaiman’s first solo novel has become a touchstone of urban fantasy, and a perennial favorite of readers everywhere.

“Delightful … inventively horrific.”

Featured Article: Best Audiobook Narrators for an Immersive Experience

Audiobooks have revolutionized the literary world, opening up classic books to a whole new generation of listeners. It isn't just as simple as committing a great story to tape and letting the tale do the rest, of course, it isn't. In this new and exciting world, an audiobook is only as good as its narrator. A bad voice can drag a good story down, while a great voice can lift good stories. Luckily for listeners across the world, there is no shortage of fantastic voices in the Audible library, filling classic and contemporary stories with character, charm and glee. These are the very best audiobook narrators going today.

It is difficult to pick a favourite Gaiman book, but I think Neverwhere is mine. Having the authors voice narrate the story opens it up to a whole new experience. I read the book while listening to the audiobook and it was seamless, Neil Gaiman's voice quickly and naturally fitting into my mind while I read.

The story, like much of Gaiman's fiction, is difficult to pin down to a specific genre. It is fantasy, fiction, funny, dark, meaningful and poignant all wrapped into one easy to read, light book. The characters are all so vivid, every individual person stays with you as a distinct friend who you think of after you finish the book, wondering how they are getting on. If you are curious about Neil Gaiman's work, I definitely recommend this as a starting point because it is a much less intense read than American Gods for example, but will also introduce you to his classic style.

Absolutely perfect

This story, like Gaiman's others (Anansi Boys, Ocean at the end of the lane) is imaginative and sucks you right in. The narration is well paced and expertly edited.
I would use this story as an example of why audiobooks are good as reading the actual things.

Very entertaining and completely enthralling

Neil's performance was utterly enjoyable, as was the story. I love the Marquis, and I was so happy to get the new story of his coat included. Please, sir, may we have some more.

Freaking awesome

Neverwhere takes a little while to hold your interest but Neil Gaima's reading of the book with his strong voice keeps you interested enough to keep listening. Once you are fully a part of London below then you realize why this became a best seller as the story becomes more and more fascinating

Fun listen of another of Gaiman's hidden worlds

Excellent story, and narration. I've been going through Neil Gaiman's stories, and this is another good one. Very enjoyable. I accidentally listened to an abridged radio version first, thinking that was the full length. Both were great.

Excellent story, and narration.
