Hello gentle reader and Happy New Year!
I’m starting off 2013 with THE book I can’t wait to read this year: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (expected publication: June 18th 2013 by William Morrow Books).
It’s no secret I love Neil Gaiman’s books and I’m very excited by the prospect of reading his new Adult Fantasy book.
From Goodreads:
“THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE is a fable that reshapes modern fantasy: moving, terrifying and elegiac – as pure as a dream, as delicate as a butterfly’s wing, as dangerous as a knife in the dark, from storytelling genius Neil Gaiman.
It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed – within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it.
His only defense is three women, on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang.”

Goodreads is going to divorce me if I add anything else to my TBR lol. I didn’t know this was coming out, but it sounds amazing! *goes to make nice with GR*
Doesn’t it sound awesome?! I’m sure Goodreads will be accommodating 😉
I’ve only read one Gaiman book so far. I really need to catch up! Maybe I can start with this one; it sounds fascinating!
My favourite Neil Gaiman’s books are the Graveyeard Book (children’s book) and American Gods (Adult book), although I’ve read almost all of his work. I have high hopes for this one!
Ooh, thanks for letting me know about this one. I always get excited when a new Gaiman book comes out.
It does sound good. I love the cover art too!
