About this listen

The extraordinary first novel by the master of storytelling.

THE EXTRAORDINARY FIRST NOVEL BY THE MASTER OF STORYTELLING

ACCLAIMED BBC RADIO 4 DRAMATISATION WITH ALL-STAR CAST INCLUDING JAMES MCAVOY, NATALIE DORMER, DAVID HAREWOOD, SOPHIE OKONEDO AND BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

Under the streets of London lies a world most people could never dream of.

When Richard Mayhew stops to help a girl he finds bleeding in the street, his unremarkable life changes in an instant.

This act of kindness leads him to a place filled with murderers and angels, pale girls in black velvet, a Beast in a labyrinth and an Earl who holds Court in a tube train. It is strangely familiar yet utterly bizarre.

Here is London Below, the city of people who have fallen between the cracks. And for Richard Mayhew, it's just the beginning.

NEIL GAIMAN.

WITH STORIES COME POSSIBILITIES.

Critic reviews

"Prose that dances and dazzles.... Gaiman describes the indescribable." (Susanna Clarke)

"It's virtually impossible to read more than ten words by Neil Gaiman and not wish he would tell you the rest of the story." (Observer)

"Much too clever to be caught in the net of a single interpretation." (Philip Pullman)

Highly original audiobook and very well read. I will never go on London underground without this book coming to mind.

Enjoyable story and well narrated by the author. I remembered a tv adaptation of the book from years back.

I think I may have discovered this Pratchett/ Gaiman genre a bit later in my reading life, but, like American Gods, Neverwhere is brilliant.

Going through a bit of a dystopia phase, but Neverwhere is a fun, brilliantly written departure and just ever so slightly ludicrously narrated audiobook. Truly one of those I was genuinely sad to finish. Very funny, fantastical departure from the daily trudge. In fact, it's just a rat infested satire of the daily trudge. With an Archangel thrown in, of course.

Like a crazy dream that makes perfect sense...

Great story, great characters and a wonderful flip side to the London I know.
What's more the author brings his own characters to life like no one else ever could.

Wonderful!

Great book and a beautiful voice acting. I really enjoyed the story and the truly british feel of the locations and accents.

I loved it
