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.
