‘Neil could never have known that he was writing for a confused Jamaican kid who, without even knowing it, was still staggering from centuries of erasure of his own gods and monsters’ MARLON JAMES

Now brother Spider is on his doorstep, about to make life more interesting . . . and a lot more dangerous.
It’s a meeting that will take Fat Charlie from his London home to Florida, the Caribbean, and the very beginning of the world itself. Or the end of the world, depending on which way you’re looking.

Reviews
To give him his full title: Neil Gaiman, Architect of Worlds, Svengali of Plot, Shaman of Character, Exploder of Cliche, Master Craftsman of Style, Dreamer, Laureate of the Republic of Letters
Beyond all the borders that divide us, there is a place of infinite possibilities and pure magic. I think of Neil Gaiman as a writer who wears the key to that land around his neck - the key to Storyland
Gaiman is, simply put, a treasure-house of story
A god in the universe of story
A tonic for these turbulent times
Much too clever to be caught in the net of a single interpretation
Intimate, erudite and illuminating
While we might come to his writing for gods and monsters, actually all human life is here
