There is something strange about Coraline's new home. It's not the mist, or the cat that always seems to be watching her, nor the signs of danger that Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, her new neighbours, read in the tea leaves. It's the other house - the one behind the old door in the drawing room. Another mother and father with black-button eyes and papery skin are waiting for Coraline to join them there. And they want her to stay with them. For ever. She knows that if she ventures through that door, she may never come back.

The Sandman is Neil Gaiman's universally lauded masterwork following Morpheus, Lord of the Dreaming — a vast hallucinatory landscape housing all the dreams of any and everyone who's ever existed. Regardless of cultures or historical eras, all dreamers visit Morpheus' realm — be they gods, demons, muses, mythical creatures, or simply humans who teach Morpheus some surprising lessons. Upon his escape from an embarrassing captivity at the hands of a mere mortal, Morpheus finds himself at a crossroads, forced to deal with the enormous changes within both himself and his realm. His journey to find his place in a world that's drastically changed takes him through mythical worlds to retrieve his ancient heirlooms, the back roads of America for a twisted reunion, and even Hell itself, to receive the dubious honor of picking the next Devil. But, he'll learn his greatest lessons at the hands of his own family, the Endless, who — like him — are walking embodiments of the most influential aspects of existence. This massive, hardcover tome — over 1,000 pages — collects the first 37 issues of Neil Gaiman's groundbreaking series!

THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark, from storytelling genius Neil Gaiman. It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed - within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defense is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang.

A must for any fan of the storytelling genius that is Neil Gaiman, author of the acclaimed novel AMERICAN GODS and the highly anticipated new novel for adults, THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE. In May 2012, Neil Gaiman delivered the commencement address at Philadelphia's University of the Arts, in which he shared his thoughts about creativity, bravery, and strength. He encouraged the fledgling painters, musicians, writers, and dreamers to break rules and think outside the box. Most of all, he urged them to make good art. The book MAKE GOOD ART, designed by renowned graphic artist Chip Kidd, contains the full text of Gaiman's inspiring speech.

Amikor egy emlék felenged, a múlt szivárog ki belõle. Mit tehet egy hétéves fiú, ha az addig nyugodt, vidéki életet megzavarja valami, ami nagyobb nemcsak nála, de az általa ismert felnõtteknél, sőt az általa ismert világnál is? Hirtelen elszakad a saját családjától, és egyetlen hely van ahová mehet, egy ház a földút végén. Ebben a házban három nő lakik, három nemzedék, nagymama, anya és lánya, akik sokat láttak és még többet tudnak. Ismerik a titkos utakat és lebegő járatokat, értik a halk szavakat és a néma igéket, jártak a földeken innen és a vizeken túl. Ők segíthetnek, csakhogy mint mindennek, a segítségnek ára van. Neil Gaiman új regénye a gyermekkor varázslatát mutatja a felnőttlét karcos szemüvegén át, az ártatlanság elvesztését a tapasztalat párás tükrében, hírnevéhez méltóan egy olyan történetben, amely semmihez sem hasonlít.

Poslední kniha ze sandmanovské série. Poetické a melancholické rozloučení s kultovní řadou, v podání těch nejslavnějších kreslířů. Vzhledem k názvu Tryzna, je celkem nepřekvapivé, že je tématem vyrovnávání se se smrtí... ale i důležitost příběhů a vyprávění. Potkáte většinu starých známých a pár zcela nových. Skvělé rozloučení s legendární řadou, kniha, které se dá vytknout pouze jedna věc. Že je poslední.

Antológiánk lapjain korunk angolszász spekulatív irodalmának legnagyobb alakjai tisztelegnek a közelmúltban elhunyt Mester előtt történeteikkel, melyek hol felemelőek, hol borongósak, hol szentimentálisak, hol hátborzongatóak, de valamennyi új és új kaland a képzelet határtalan birodalmában.

Sága Neila Gaimana se řítí do finále - v masivní, více než 350 stránkové knize. Nad osudem vládce snů se stahují mraky a mýtické bytosti bezohledně manipulují životy smrtelníků. Každý čin má své následky... a dobré skutky přinášejí nezastavitelnou tragédii.

THE ABSOLUTE SANDMAN BOOK FIVE is the latest oversized deluxe slipcased hardcover collecting the classic Sandman stories written by Neil Gaiman THE SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS reveals the legend of The Endless, a family of magical and mythical beings who exist and interact in the real world. Born at the beginning of time, Destiny, Death, Dream, Desire, Despair, Delirium and Destruction are seven brothers and sisters. These seven peculiar and powerful siblings each reveal more about their true being as they star in their own tales of curiosity and wonder. THE SANDMAN: THE DREAM HUNTERS appears in two versions here: First, as a prose novella by Gaiman with illustrations by Yoshitaka Amano, and then in a comics version adapted by Gaiman?s frequent collaborator P. Craig Russell (THE SANDMAN, FABLES: THE LAST CASTLE). In this tale, a humble young monk and a magical, shape-changing fox find themselves romantically drawn together. As their love blooms, the fox learns of a devilish plot by a group of demons and a Japanese emperor to steal the monk?s life. With the aid of Morpheus, the fox must use all her cunning to foil this evil scheme and save the man that she loves.

Despite being mostly known for his fantastical graphic novels and adult fiction, Neil Gaiman's first book for children is everything that you would expect from such a massive imagination as his. It's special and wonderful and very weird indeed. Descr ibed by some as the new Alice in Wonderland, Coraline is actually more bizarre than that, much more frightening and its modest length definitely adds to the book's undiluted potency. Shortly after moving into an old house with strange tenants above a nd below, Coraline discovers a big, carved, brown wooden door at the far corner of the drawing room. And it is locked. Curiosity runs riot in Coraline's mind and she unlocks the door to see what lies behind it. Disappointingly, it opens onto a brick wall. Days later, after exploring the rest of the house and garden, Coraline returns to the same mysterious door and opens it again. This time, however, there is a dark hallway in front of her. Stepping inside, the place beyond has an eerie familiari ty about it. The carpet and wallpaper are the same as in her flat. The picture hanging on the wall is the same. Almost. Strangest of all, her mum and dad are there too. Only they have buttons for eyes and seem more possessive than normal. It's a twis ted version of her world that is familiar, and yet sinister. And matters get even more surreal for Coraline when her "other" parents seem reluctant to let her leave. Her attempted escape from this nightmare alternative reality sees Coraline experienc e a chilling series of ever more bizarre encounters. Some are plainly odd, others disturbingly spooky and together they combine to form an immensely readable story. It's like all the best bits of the Goosebumps books condensed into 160 pages. A uniqu e reading experience guaranteed. (Ages 10 and over)--John McLay--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

The third Sandman collection is a series of four short comic book stories. In each of these otherwise unrelated stories, Morpheus serves only as a minor character. One of these stories won the World Fantasy Award for best short story, the first time a comic book was given that honor.
