American Gods is Neil Gaiman's best and most ambitious novel yet, a scary, strange, and hallucinogenic road-trip story wrapped around a deep examination of the American spirit. Gaiman tackles everything from the onslaught of the information age to the meaning of death, but he doesn't sacrifice the razor-sharp plotting and narrative style he's been delivering since his Sandman days.
This is the graphic novel adaptation of Neil Gaiman's indomitable Coraline, intrepidly illustrated by P. Craig Russell
Now, if you're thinking fondly of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe or Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, you're on the wrong track. Neil Gaiman's Coraline is far darker, far stranger, playing on our deepest fears. And, like Roald Dahl's work, it is delicious. :-) Highly recommended!

Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean - The Wolves in the Walls
The Wolves in the Walls is a phantasmagoric story written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Dave McKean.
Truth be told, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's picture book The Wolves in the Walls
is terrifying. Sure, the story is fairytale-like and presented in a
jaunty, casually nonsensical way, but it is absolutely the stuff of
nightmares. Lucy hears wolves hustling, bustling, crinkling, and
crackling in the walls of the old house where her family lives, but no
one believes her. Her mother says it's mice, her brother says bats, and
her father says what everyone seems to say, "If the wolves come out of
the walls, it's all over." Lucy remains convinced, as is her beloved
pig-puppet, and her worst fears are confirmed when the wolves actually
do come out of the walls
