Neil Gaiman

I denne gjenfortellingen av gamle norrøne myter begynner Gaiman på klassisk vis med verdens skapelse og ender med ragnarok. Men med sin komprimerte og humoristiske fortellerstil får Gaiman frem nye sider ved historiene. Norrøne guder - fra Yggdrasil til ragnarok er en fantastisk introduksjon til norrøn mytologi for dem som ikke allerede kjenner den og en ny og annerledes tilnærming for andre. NEIL GAIMAN ble født i England i 1960, men har de siste årene bodd i USA. Etter at han slo gjennom med tegneserien Sandman, har han skrevet en rekke kritikerroste bøker for barn og voksne, inkludert Neverwhere, Stjernestøv, Amerikanske guder, Kirkegårdsboken og Coraline. Han har en stor tilhengerskare over hele verden og blir av mange regnet som en av de største fornyerne av fantasysjangeren.

Vargarna i väggen (persiska: Gorghay-e toy-e divar) Lucy hör ljud. Smygande, krypande, knycklande ljud. De kommer inifrån väggen. Det är vargar I väggen på deras hus. Det vet Lucy. Och om vargarna kommer ut ur väggen, då är det klippt. Det vet alla. Neil Gaimans and Dave McKeans bilderbok Vargarna i väggen är en rolig och nonsensbetonad saga. Men samtidigt avgjort mardömslik – en absolut trovärdig berättelse om ett barns skräck i ett gammalt hus som låter. Precis som i Neil Gaimans Coraline står åter en tjej i händelsernas centrum, som tar upp kampen mot de fasor som uppenbarar sig inom hemmets förment trygga väggar. Medan Lucys föräldrar fogar sig i familjens ”öde” visar Lucy att det lönar sig att kämpa för det som är en kärt. Och även om det är klippt behöver det inte vara klippt för alltid. Dave McKean, som varit Gaimans medarbetare i många serier (Violent Cases, Mr Punch, Sandman) och bilderböcker, gestaltar kongenialt Gaimans burleska, skrämmande och upplyftande berättelse med bilder som blandar pennteckning, fotomontage, collage och datorgrafik, och visar åter att han är en av de främsta bland moderna bokillustratörer.

Oceasnen vid vägens slut (persiska: Oghyanos-e entehay-e jadeh) Skräck, magi och genial berättarkonst Neil Gaimans senaste roman är ett koncist mästerverk i det lilla formatet. Minnets trådar drar oss in i ett sedan länge glömt händelseförlopp där en liten pojke stod öga mot öga med förgörande ondska och fann den vackraste vänskap man kan önska. En man återvänder till sin barndoms trakter på den engelska landsbygden. Till en början har hans biltur inget mål, men snart står det klart vart hans undermedvetna har fört honom: till en bondgård med en liten ankdamm strax bakom. För länge sedan bodde familjen Hempstock där: elvaåriga Lettie, hennes mamma och mormor. Märkligt nog bor mamman och mormodern kvar, lika gamla som de var då för fyrtio år sedan, men Lettie är borta. Mannen sätter sig på den gröna bänken bredvid dammen och genast börjar han minnas året då han var sju: hur gruvarbetaren som handlade med opaler en morgon låg hopsjunken i baksätet på en bil i vägrenen. Död. Och hur Lettie försvann. Stunden på bänken vid dammen för honom tillbaka till våren då ondskan i en hemhjälps skepnad kom in i hans barndom och då hans världar - både barnets fantastiska och de verkliga - förändrades för alltid. I Oceanen vid vägens slut avtäcker Neil Gaiman en berättelse, lika fasansfull som vemodig, i lager på lager.

As Neil explains, "This book is not 'the complete nonfiction of Neil Gaiman.' It is, instead, a motley bunch of speeches and articles, introductions and essays.
