Neil Gaiman

The heart-pounding conclusion to the InterWorld series, by award-winning writers Neil Gaiman, Michael Reaves and Mallory Reaves

"Filled with wisdom and thought experiments and things that will mess with your mind." -- Neil Gaiman, author of The Graveyard Book and American Gods In sharply argued, fast-moving chapters, Cory Doctorow's Information Doesn't Want to Be Free takes on the state of copyright and creative success in the digital age. Can small artists still thrive in the Internet era? Can giant record labels avoid alienating their audiences? This is a book about the pitfalls, and the opportunities, creative industries (and individuals) are confronting today--about how the old models have failed or found new footing, and about what might soon replace them. An essential read for anyone with a stake in the future of the arts, Information Doesn't Want to Be Free offers a vivid guide to the ways creativity and the Internet interact today, and to what might be coming next.

ABC-bok som i bilderna berättar en handling vilken bara antyds i texten. Två modiga barn smyger sig ut ur sitt hus och ner i en värld under stadens gator, en plats där man stöter på monster och pirater bakom vartenda hörn. Gris Grimleys teckningar förenar gotisk ruggighet med en skämtteckningsstil som delvis hämtat inspiration hundra år bakåt i tiden, en värdig tolkning av Neil Gaimans manus. En fin bok för både barn och vuxna. En charmig och småryslig ABC-bok i Farliga alfabetet. Den är egentligen, ur ett vuxenperspektiv, hemskare än vad barnen själva kanske anar; ”P är pirater som säljer killar och tjejer”. Överlag råkar många barn illa ut här, och det kan ju förstås verka skrämmande för de minsta. Grimlys illustrationer är fina och suggestiva. Färgskalan i akvarell är brungröngrå-murrig, och underjordens alla varelser är fantasifullt förfärdigade. [...] Det mesta som Gaiman släpper ifrån sig håller hög kvalitet, också denna lilla ABC-bok.

Vi kender alle eventyret om Hans og Grete, men i Neil Gaimans nyfortolkning og med John Kenn Mortensens tegninger er der noget at komme efter for både nye og ældre læsere. Gaimans eventyr om Hans og Grete er en dyster fortælling om de to børn, som efterlades alene i den store, mørke skov. I John Kenn Mortensens karakteristiske illustrationer understreges uhyggen, og resultatet er et mørkt eventyr om hungersnød, sult og fortvivlelse - men også om to børns stædige kamp for overlevelse og tilgivelse af de voksne, som satte dem i den umulige situation. Pressen skriver: »Det løber én koldt ned ad ryggen, når man læser og ikke mindst studerer illustrationerne i Hans & Grete – og det er netop også meningen. Illustrationerne emmer af fortvivlelse og dunkelhed, så de giver en ekstra dimension til det velkendte eventyr, og bogen kan varmt anbefales til store og små.« ***** – Christoffer Boserup Skov, JAGOO, 27. oktober 2015 »Neil Gaiman leverer en særdeles velfortalt nyfortolkning, som klokkeklart lever op til eventyrets tradition om på én og samme tid at skræmme og fortrylle sine læsere.« – Litteratursiden.dk »Neil Gaiman og John Kenn Mortensen har skabt et flot værk, eller rettere sagt; en smuk moderne genfortælling af det velkendte eventyr.« (7/10 stjerner) – bookeater.com »Tykke, lækre sider som i stedet for at være den typiske hvide farve har fået en lys brun farve, der giver historien en mere eventyrlig stemning. Mortensens smukke tegninger tilføjer en stor del af den dystre, smukke eventyrstemning der er at finde i hele bogen« (4/5 stjerner) – happenstancie.blogspot.dk, 27. november 2015 »Denne bog er blot et bevis på, at når to mesterværker, som Gaiman og 'Hans og Grethe', slår sig sammen, så bliver det intet mindre end fantastisk.« ***** – mitbogunivers.blogspot.dk, 2. december 2015 »Flot udgave af eventyret i lækkert layout. De markante og uhyggelige tegninger giver bogen kant.« – Lektør, uge 1, 2016

In this new collection, Neil Gaiman pierces the veil of reality to reveal the enigmatic, shadowy world that lies beneath.

Here is a rich cornucopia of horror and ghosts stories, science fiction and fairy tales, fabulism and poetry that explore the realm of experience and emotion. In Adventure Story--a thematic companion to The Ocean at the End of the Lane--Gaiman ponders death and the way people take their stories with them when they die. His social media experience A Calendar of Tales are short takes inspired by replies to fan tweets about the months of the year--stories of pirates and the March winds, an igloo made of books, and a Mother's Day card that portends disturbances in the universe. Gaiman offers his own ingenious spin on Sherlock Holmes in his award-nominated mystery tale The Case of Death and Honey. And Click-Clack the Rattlebag explains the creaks and clatter we hear when we're all alone in the darkness. A sophisticated writer whose creative genius is unparalleled, Gaiman entrances with his literary alchemy, transporting us deep into the realm of imagination, where the fantastical becomes real and the everyday incandescent. Full of wonder and terror, surprises and amusements, Trigger Warning is a treasury of delights that engage the mind, stir the heart, and shake the soul from one of the most unique and popular literary artists of our day.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author's ultimate edition of his wildly successful first novel featuring his "preferred text"--and including the special "Neverwhere" tale "How the Marquis Got His Coat Back." Published in 1997, Neil Gaiman's darkly hypnotic first novel, Neverwhere, heralded the arrival of this major talent and became a touchstone of urban fantasy. Over the years, a number of versions were produced both in the U. S. and the U. K. Now, this author's preferred edition of his classic novel reconciles these versions and reinstates a number of scenes cut from the original published books. Neverwhere is the story of Richard Mayhew, a young London businessman with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he is plunged through the cracks of reality into a world of shadows and darkness--the Neverwhere. If he is ever to return to the London Above, Richard must join the battle to save this strange underworld kingdom from the malevolence that means to destroy it.
