GAIMAN NEIL

ΠΟΤΕ ΚΑΙ ΠΟΥΘΕΝΑ
Κάτω από τους δρόμους του Λονδίνου, κάτω από τον κόσμο τον χειροπιαστό του Εδώ και του Τώρα, υπάρχει κι ένας κόσμος άγνωστος, απέραντος, μυστικός, σκοτεινός, ανείπωτος: ο κόσμος του Ποτέ και Πουθενά. Τον κατοικούνε τέρατα και άγγελοι, καλόγεροι και φονιάδες, κυνηγοί και θηρία, ληστές κι αγαθούληδες, τυχοδιώκτες και πρόβατα. Είναι γεμάτος τρομακτικές αβύσσους και παλάτια που φτάνουν ως το κέντρο της γης. Και μόνο όσοι στ' αλήθεια δεν έχουν τίποτα, όσοι γλιστράνε και πέφτουν από τις ρωγμές του "πραγματικού" κόσμου, μπορούν να περνάνε από τον...

Books for Keeps 'I was looking forward to CORALINE, and I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book' Philip Pullman, Guardian ‘If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls, it should be Neil Gaiman.

ΤΟ ΒΙΒΛΙΟ ΤΟΥ ΝΕΚΡΟΤΑΦΕΙΟΥ
Ο Καν Όουενς είναι ένα φυσιολογικό αγόρι. Ή μάλλον, θα ήταν εντελώς φυσιολογικό, αν παραβλέπαμε ότι μένει σ' ένα νεκροταφείο, ότι την ανατροφή του την έχουν αναλάβει φαντάσματα κι ότι ο Σίλας, ο αινιγματικός προστάτης του, ζει και κινείται στο μεταίχμιο του κόσμου των ζωντανών και του κόσμου των νεκρών, δίχως ν' ανήκει σε κανέναν απ' τους δυο. Στο νεκροταφείο, ο Καν θα ζήσει διάφορες περιπέτειες - θα συναντήσει τον αρχαίο Λουλακί Άντρα, θα ανακαλύψει την πύλη που οδηγεί στην εφιαλτική Νεκρόπολη και θα γνωρίσει τον παράξενο και τρομαχτικό ...
