Neverwhere
Under the streets of London there's a world 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 London of the people who have fallen between the cracks.
Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre.
There's a girl named Door and people who are trying to kill her. There's an Angel called Islington, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, people in the sewers, a Beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining... And Richard, who only wants to go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him down here, below the streets of his native city – NEVERWHERE.
