Like many other things, 2013 was also a great year when it came to sci-fi and fantasy novels. These are

have been waiting for the author’s next novel for adults (his
first was Anansi Boys, released in 2005), this is it. What was
supposed to be a short story, ended up becoming this
beautiful masterfully written story that follows an unnamed
narrator who returns to his hometown for a funeral and gets
pulled back into an event that started forty years ago during
his childhood.
The main story begins when the narrator remembers the
day his father’s car was stolen and the perpetrator had
committed suicide in the back seat. His death allowed a
supernatural being to gain access to our world, leaving money
for people in most unpleasant ways. From then on, readers are
then thrust into a magical adventure that sees childhood
innocence tested, what happens when an individual gets
between mystic forces and what can be gained from the power
of true friendship. Even if you have never read Gaiman’s
previous works, this one will draw you in and make you a fan.
