De retour dans le village de sa jeunesse, un homme se remémore les évènements survenus l'année de ses sept ans. Un suicide dans une voiture volée. L'obscurité qui monte. Et Lettie, la jeune voisine, qui soutient que la mare au bout du chemin est un océan.

Under the streets of London lies a world most people could never dream of.
When Richard Mayhew stops to help a girl he finds bleeding in the street, his unremarkable life changes in an instant.
This act of kindness leads him to a place filled with murderers and angels, pale girls in black velvet, a Beast in a labyrinth and an Earl who holds Court in a tube train. It is strangely familiar yet utterly bizarre.
Here is London Below, the city of people who have fallen between the cracks. And for Richard Mayhew, it's just the beginning.
NEIL GAIMAN. 
WITH STORIES COME POSSIBILITIES.

Neverwhere

From multi-award-winning Neil Gaiman comes a spectacularly silly, mind-bendingly clever, brilliantly bonkers adventure - with lip-smackingly gorgeous illustrations by Chris Riddell  Mum's away. Dad's in charge. There's no milk. So Dad saves the day by going to buy some. 

Really, that's all that happens. Very boring. YAAAAAAAAAWN. 

There are absolutely none of the following inside: GLOBBY GREEN ALIENS! INTERGALACTIC POLICE! PIRATES! And most definitely NOT a time-travelling hot-air balloon piloted by the brilliant Professor Steg ...

Fortunately, the milk . . .

Un paisible village niché au coeur de la forêt anglaise, non loin d’un mur mystérieux, infranchissable… mais pas pour Tristan, qui a juré de rapporter à la belle Victoria une étoile filante tombée de l’autre côté. Il va y découvrir un pays magique habité par des fées, un monde d’enchantements, de sorcières, de licornes et de princes sanguinaires où jeunesse, pouvoir et amour se conquièrent à coups de sortilèges…

The American Gods Quartet

Bonnie tries to tame her father's hair, but to no avail, as birds and beasts of every type jostle for space amongst the curls and tresses. The warm and funny conversational text combine beautifully with Dave McKean's edgy and dramatic illustrations.

Mes Cheveux Fous

Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season.
 
In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR''s winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely.

Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home.
 
Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egneus, Pam Smy, Petr Horacek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.

Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world.>

What you need to be warm

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...

Son nom lui-même est un mystère. Il se nomme Sandman, mais aussi Dream ou Morphée. Comme les autres membres de la famille des Eternels - Death, Destiny, Delirium, Desire, Despair et Destruction - il incarne un sentiment ou une réalité de l'âme humaine. Son royaume est celui des songes, un royaume à la fois sombre et enchanteur, dont le Maître est immortel, mais faillible et fragile. En suivant Sandman dans ses aventures, ses peines et ses tourments, le lecteur plongera dans un fascinant rêve éveillé. Quatre histoires du Domaine du rêve. Qui savait que la première représentation du Songe d'une nuit d'été de Shakespeare s'était jouée devant Morphée et ses amis ? Calliope, une très jolie muse, est asservie par un romancier en panne d'inspiration. La tyrannie exercée par l'Humanité sur le reste de la création, vue par les yeux d'un chat. Et aussi les derniers moments d'une femme immortelle et indestructible, qui ne désire pourtant qu'une chose : mourir.
