Sandman : les chasseurs de rêve

Londres, un soir comme tant d'autres. Richard Mayhew découvre une jeune fille gisant sur le trottoir, l'épaule ensanglantée. Qui le supplie de ne pas l'emmener à l'hôpital... et disparaît dès le lendemain. Pour Richard, tout dérape alors : sa fiancée le quitte, on ne le reconnaît pas au bureau, certains. même, ne le voient plus... Le monde à l'envers, en quelque sorte. Car il semble que Londres ait un envers, la " ville d'En Bas ", cité souterraine où vit un peuple d'une autre époque, invisible aux yeux du commun des mortels. Un peuple organisé, hiérarchisé, et à la tête duquel les rats jouent un rôle prépondérant. Plus rien ne le retenant " là-haut ", Richard rejoint les profondeurs...

Neverwhere

"Nobody Owens" (traducibile con "Non appartiene a nessuno", N.d.R.) rimane orfano in seguito all'assassinio della sua famiglia per mano di "Jack". Lo spirito della madre, tuttavia, lo affida ai fantasmi di due coniugi defunti, che lo crescono in un cimitero insieme ad altre creature soprannaturali. Il piccolo sviluppa poteri speciali e cresce insieme alla sua nuova famiglia. La sua famiglia sono gli Owens, anche se gli impediscono di passare il confine tra il cimitero e la Città Vecchia, per un motivo a Nobody sconosciuto. Il motivo, che si svelerà in seguito, è assai strano: una confraternita, detta "La Confraternita dei Jack", attiva da lungo tempo, aveva interrogato, nell'epoca egizia, un indovino, che aveva loro rivelato che un bambino avrebbe varcato il confine tra vivi e morti. La Confraternita aveva inviato, secoli dopo, il più sveglio dei suoi uomini, Jack Frost, a uccidere la famiglia e il bambino. Ma Nobody gli sfugge e scoprirà essere il prescelto... Riuscirà, insieme a Silas e alla signorina Lupescu, a sconfiggere la Confraternita? E dopo vorrà tornare fra i suoi simili, abbandonando i fantasmi a lui assai cari?

AMERICAN GODS

Des choses fragiles

Death incarnate, as defined by master storyteller Neil Gaiman (THE SANDMAN), is a genuinely likeable young girl with a fondness for ankhs who truly cares about people. It's small wonder then that when a rising star of the music world wrestles with revealing her true sexual orientation just as her lover is lured into the realm of Death that Death herself should make an appearance. A practical, honest, and intelligent story that illuminates "the miracle of death."
