Neverwhere

by Neil Gaiman

Book 1 in London Below

You will never ride the Underground the same way again - every shuttered station and forgotten name starts to feel like a door you missed. You'll get the deep, disorienting pleasure of being lost in a place that runs on its own dream logic, and that low hum of ache when the ordinary world stops being enough.
