The Ocean at the End of the Lane

From the creator of the famous American Gods, Neverwhere, and Stardust. A captivating fairy tale-myth, a brilliantly told story of a lonely bookish boy, whose name the reader never learns, in which the traits of the author himself are unmistakably guessed. A walk through the Sussex farms brings the hero to the house of ancient gods playing with humans, and from this moment on, the fabric of the familiar world tears and turns inside out, as creatures from another world penetrate through the gap — so strange and terrifying that it is impossible to even imagine them.
