Neil Gaiman's glorious reinvention of the iconic bestseller Good Omens, adapted from the internationally beloved novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, launched on Amazon Prime Video this year to great acclaim. Soon to be shown on the BBC, the series is written and show-run by Neil himself and stars David Tennant, Michael Sheen, Jon Hamm and Miranda Richardson, to name but a few.Before he died, Terry Pratchett asked Neil Gaiman to make a television series of the internationally beloved novel they wrote together about the end of the world.What followed was almost... ineffable. Over six glorious episodes, Neil brought an angel, Aziraphale, and a demon, Crowley, (the only things standing between us and the inevitable Armageddon) to life in some of the most extraordinary television ever made.Here you will find the scripts that Neil wrote, containing much that is new and revelatory and even several scenes throughout that never made the final cut. For the very first time, this edition collects all the missing bits - from a certain Other Four Horsemen to a little demonic shopping trip - and reveals the secrets of the show, which, by its very nature, is known to ask for the impossible.Step backstage and see the magic for yourself.

There is a hint of Armageddon in the air.

Next Saturday, in fact.So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight.

There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. This edition features a new revised text, approved by Neil Gaiman and the Pratchett Estate, which clears up many typos and errors from previous editions.It also features twelve full colour illustrations from Paul Kidby - Terry Pratchett's artist of choice - and further pencil drawings.

It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed - within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defense is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang. THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac - as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly's wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark.

Though entrepreneurs understand the ‘mechanics’ of running a business (how to) they don’t always understand the ‘fundamentals’, which ultimately decide success or failure. Through his own experiences and conversations with hundreds of successful people, Neil Francis concludes that the route to success is about understanding and answering what he calls the ‘why’ questions. Each chapter starts with a ‘why’ question and focuses on the fundamentals required for successful and sustainable entrepreneurship, such as purpose, innovation, love, desire, failure, and luck. These very human stories, combined with the author’s own unique experiences, help to illustrate the core fundamentals of successful entrepreneurship. With an achievable and practical roadmap to success, The Entrepreneur’s Book is a unique and important book, which will benefit aspiring entrepreneurs and those who are already ‘in business’.

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. Includes extra material exclusive to this Headline Review edition.

Tajemný cirkus vyděsí publikum na jediném mimořádném představení a pak zase zmizí do noci, přičemž si jednoho z diváků vezme s sebou... V novele odehrávající se dva roky po událostech z románu Američtí bohové navštíví Stín staré skotské sídlo, aby vzápětí zjistil, že se stal hlavním účinkujícím v prastarém obřadu zahrnujícím stvůry a smrt... Slavný detektiv Sherlock Holmes musí v Hugem oceněné povídce zasazené do podivně proměněné viktoriánské Anglie vyřešit nanejvýš neobvyklou vraždu člen královské rodiny... Dva chlapci se pozvou na mejdan a setkají se tam s dívkami svých snů - a nočních můr... Členové exkluzivního epikurejského klubu si stěžují, že už ochutnali všechno, co se dá jíst - s výjimkou legendárního, velice vzácného a krajně nebezpečného egyptského ptáka... Osm let poté, co ve velké Británii vyšla kniha Kouř a zrcadla (a o pět let později i u nás), nashromáždil Neil Gaiman dost povídek a jiných kratších literárních útvarů, aby se z nich dala sestavit nová sbírka. 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.

Poslední kniha ze sandmanovské série. Poetické a melancholické rozloučení s kultovní řadou, v podání těch nejslavnějších kreslířů. Vzhledem k názvu Smuteční hostina, je celkem nepřekvapivé, že je tématem vyrovnávání se se smrtí... ale i důležitost příběhů a vyprávění. Potkáte většinu starých známých a pár zcela nových. Skvělé rozloučení s legendární řadou, kniha, které se dá vytknout pouze jediná věc. Že je poslední.
