'Armageddon only happens once, you know. They don't let you go around again until you get it right' 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 . . .

Nadcházející sobotu po odpoledním čaji má přijít konec světa, a obrovská spousta lidí si vzala do hlavy, že se postará o to, aby se to skutečně stalo. Azirafal a Crowley mezi ně nepatří.

Neverwhere is the stunningly original first novel from Neil Gaiman, the bestselling and prizewinning author of The Ocean at the End of the Lane and American Gods. Wired called it 'the sort of book Terry Pratchett might produce if he spent a month locked in a cellar with Frank Kafka'. This is a must-read for all those who loved Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell or the magical world of J.K. Rowling. Under the streets of London there's a world most people could never even dream of. A city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels, and pale girls in black velvet. Richard Mayhew is a young businessman who is about to find out more than he bargained for about this other London. A single act of kindness catapults him out of his safe and predictable life and into a world that is at once eerily familiar and yet utterly bizarre. There's a girl named Door, an Angel called Islington, an Earl who holds Court on the carriage of a Tube train, a Beast in a labyrinth, and dangers and delights beyond imagining ...And Richard, who only wants to go home, is to find a strange destiny waiting for him below the streets of his native city.

Jsou v ní strašidelné, humorné i velice zvláštní příběhy, povídky, které získaly prestižní ceny, i ty, které zatím vyšly jen v naprosto okrajových tiskovinách, na internetu nebo vůbec nikde, a obsahuje také novelu doplňující knihu Američtí bohové. Sbírka získala cenu British Fantasy Awards ve své kategorii za rok 2007.

First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic, lauded for its brilliant synthesis of “mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose” (Washington Post) and as a modern phantasmagoria that “distills the essence of America” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is the story of Shadow—released from prison just days after his wife and best friend are killed in an accident—who gets recruited to be bodyguard, driver, and errand boy for the enigmatic trickster, Mr. Wednesday. So begins Shadow’s dark and strange road trip, one that introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. For, beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a storm is brewing—an epic war for the very soul of America—and Shadow is standing squarely in its path.

Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin's son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki-son of a giant-blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Through Gaiman's deft and witty prose, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again. Please note the pages on this book have been produced with bevelled or rough edge to create an old style look. The publisher has deliberately chosen to produce the book this way.

„My všichni máme svoje malé spouště… věci, které na nás čekají v temných chodbách našich životů,“ píše Neil Gaiman v úvodu Předběžného varování, pozoruhodného kompendia pětadvaceti povídek a básní, ve kterých zkoumá transformativní moc imaginace. V povídce "Dobrodružný příběh" – jistým způsobem spřízněné s knihou Oceán na konci uličky – se Gaiman zamýšlí nad smrtí a jak si lidé berou svoje příběhy s sebou, když umírají. „Kalendář příběhů“ je sestaven z minipovídek o měsících v roce – příběh pirátky a březnových větrů, iglú postaveného z knih a pohlednice ke Dni matek, která způsobí poruchu ve vesmíru. V povídce „Případ smrti a medu“ nabízí Gaiman možnost podívat se na legendárního detektiva Sherlocka Holmese trochu jinak. Ve sbírce najdete také „Bezčasí“, velice zvláštní příběh napsáný v roce 2013 pro oblíbený seriál Pán času, stejně jako dosud nepublikovaný příběh ze světa Amerických bohů „Černý pes“ o tom, co se stalo, když se Stín cestou zpátky do Ameriky zastavil v jedné vesnické hospodě. Gaiman, kreativní spisovatel s nenapodobitelným tvůrčím géniem, nás pomocí své literární alchymie přenáší hluboko do neprobádané země, kde se fantastické stává skutečným a každodenní jasně žhne. Předběžné varování, plné divů a hrůz, překvapení a pobavení, je pokladnice literárních požitků, které zaměstnají mysl, sevřou u srdce a zatřesou s duší.

Audiokniha: Tristran dá své lásce impulzivní slib, který ho vyšle na cestu za nejnapínavějším dobrodružstvím jeho života, aby nakonec získal víc, než očekával. V Anglii vládne královna Viktorie a na vysokém žulovém výběžku uprostřed lesů, celou noc jízdy od Londýna, stojí už šest set let vesnička Zeď. Vesnička dostala jméno podle impozantní kamenné hradby, jež ji odděluje od přilehlé louky a toho, co je za ní, její poklidný život. Jsou v ní staré, hranaté domy postavené z šedého kamene, mají břidlicovou střechu a vysoké komíny. Obyvatelé jsou nemluvní a zachmuření. U jediné mezery ve zdi dnem i nocí stojí stráže, aby zabránily zvědavcům projít ven, nebo se dostat dovnitř. Jen jednou za devět let svou hlídku opouštějí, to když se na louce za zdí koná zvláštní a neobyčejný trh. Na jednom takovém se seznámí Dunstan Thorn s tajemnou zakletou kráskou. Setkání nezůstane bez následků, narodí se Tristran. Matka dítě zanechá u mezery s lístečkem, že je dítě Dunstanovo. Chlapec vyrůstá v otcově rodině, a když je mu sedmnáct, nešťastně se zamiluje.

Tristramovo putování ale není bez nebezpečí, dokonce ho na životě ohrožují čarodějnice a jiné nepříjemnosti, jenže na konci cesty chlapec za odměnu získá mnohem víc, než si z počátku myslel… Hvězdný prach získal v roce 1999 ocenění Mythopoeic Society v oblasti literatury pro dospělé čtenáře a o rok později cenu Alex Award od American Library Association za jednu z deseti nejlepších young adult knih.
