The Ocean at the End of the Lane

An exhilarating fairy tale-myth from the famous author of "American Gods" and "Anansi Boys". A brilliantly told story of a lonely "bookish" boy, whose name the reader never learns, but in whom one can unmistakably see the traits of Neil Gaiman himself.
A walk through the farms of Sussex leads the hero to the house of ancient gods playing with humans, and from this moment on, the fabric of the familiar world tears and turns inside out, as beings from another world slip through the gap — so strange and terrifying that they are impossible to imagine.
