Severská mytológia
Neil Gaiman sa pri písaní už dlho inšpiruje dávnymi príbehmi a mýtmi. Pri tejto knihe však obrátil pozornosť priamo na ich zdroj a bravúrne spracoval veľké ságy ďalekého severu. Verne opisuje panteón hlavných nordických bohov: Odina, najvyššieho z najvyšších, jeho syna Thora, neuveriteľne silného, no nie najmúdrejšieho, a Lokiho, syna obra, Odinovho pokrvného brata, švindliara a neprekonateľného manipulátora. Gaiman všetky dávne príbehy spracoval do románu a ten sa začína zrodom deviatich bájnych svetov, opisuje dobrodružstvá bohov, trpaslíkov i obrov a končí sa súmrakom bohov, ktorý je zároveň zrodom nového času a ľudstva. Severskí bohovia majú v Gaimanovom podaní desivo bojovnú povahu, radi podvádzajú druhých, a aj sa dajú podviesť, ich kroky často vedie čistá vášeň. Vďaka svižnému a vtipnému rozprávačskému štýlu naberajú známe príbehy nový, svieži dych.

Oceán na konci ulice
Jedného dňa, keď bol Neil Gaiman sám doma, jeho manželka práve niekde koncertovala, rozhodol sa, že si skráti čakanie a napíše pre ňu poviedku. Postupne však z poviedky vznikol román Oceán na konci ulice, v ktorom sa hlavný hrdina chystá na pohreb a vracia sa na miesta svojho detstva. Voľné chvíle pochmúrneho dňa vypĺňa potulkami po bývalom detskom kráľovstve. Vyberie sa až na samý koniec svojej ulice, kde ešte stále stojí farma Hempstockovcov, a stretne sa so starou pani Hempstockovou, matkou svojej kamarátky z detstva Lettie Hempstockovej, dá si čaj a odíde k jazierku s kačkami, ktorému Lettie hovorila oceán...

Pod ulicami Londýna sa rozprestiera svet, o ktorom väčšina z nás nikdy nepočula. Je to svet príšer, svätcov, vrahov a anjelov, rytierov v lesklej zbroji aj bledých diev v čiernom zamate. Svet tých, ktorí doň prepadli štrbinami z nášho, horného sveta. Richard Mayhew žil ako celkom obyčajný človek, až kým nezachránil dievča, čo sa pred ním zrazu objavilo zranené na ulici. Ani sa nenazdal a ocitol sa vo svete, o akom sa mu nesnívalo v najhorších – a ani najlepších – snoch.

Good Omens (Film Tie-in)
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, Judgement Day is almost upon us and the world's going to end in a week . . .
Now people have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it's only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day. But what if, for once, the predictions are right, and the apocalypse really is due to arrive next Saturday, just after tea?
You could spend the time left drowning your sorrows, giving away all your possessions in preparation for the rapture, or laughing it off as (hopefully) just another hoax. Or you could just try to do something about it.
It's a predicament that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon now finds themselves in. They've been living amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and, truth be told, have grown rather fond of the lifestyle and, in all honesty, are not actually looking forward to the coming Apocalypse.
And then there's the small matter that someone appears to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

Jaké je však jeho překvapení, když namísto očekávané konfrontace s Luciferem obdrží klíče od pekla. Danajštější dar si lze jen těžce představit, avšak to zatím Morfeus netuší. Důsledky tohoto činu ho totiž dostihnou mnohem, mnohem později...

Anansiho chlapci
Neil Gaiman píše komiksové scenáre, poviedky aj romány. V slovenčine vyšli jeho knihy Americkí bohovia a Oceán na konci ulice. V románe Anansiho chlapci sa čitatelia znovu stretnú s pánom Nancym – Anansim. Toho už poznajú z Amerických bohov, a je to skôr bôžik než boh, a navyše neplecha, sukničkár, pijan a lenivec. Anansi sa v tomto príbehu stretne so svojimi dvoma potomkami, a to s Tučniakom Charliem, nesmelým a nepriebojným chlapíkom, a s jeho bratom Pavúkom, ktorý zdedil všetky otcove božské schopnosti aj necnosti. Pavúk neznesiteľným spôsobom zasahuje Tučniakovi Charliemu do života a komplikuje ho, preberie mu snúbenicu, ba spôsobí trestné stíhanie. Preto sa Tučniak Charlie rozhodne, že sa otravného bračeka zbaví, a ponúkne ho vtáčej žene. A od tej chvíle sa všetky vtáky na svete usilujú zmárniť nielen Pavúka, ale aj Tučniaka Charlieho, ktorý musí spojiť sily s bratom, aby sa obaja zachránili.
