About Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman wrote the award-winning graphic novel series The Sandman, and with Terry Pratchett, the award-winning novel Good Omens. His first book for children, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, illustrated by Dave McKean, hasn't yet won any awards, but was one of Newsweek's Best Children's Books of 1997. Angels & Visitations, a small press story collection, was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and won the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Collection, despite not having any horror in it. Well, hardly any.
Born in England, he now makes his home in America, in a big dark house of uncertain location where he grows exotic pumpkins and accumulates computers and cats. He is currently at work turning his first novel Neverwhere into a film for Jim Henson films.

Neil Gaiman recommends
 The Devil's Own Dear Son (1949) James Branch Cabell "[He] is a delightful author.. I like the sheer audacity and the scope [of his work]." |  Unconquered Countries (1985) Geoff Ryman "Searing and Brilliant." |  Finder: A Novel of the Borderlands (1994) Emma Bull "Emma Bull is really good." | |
 13 Phantasms: And Other Stories (2000) James P Blaylock "Blaylock is a true one-of-a-kind original and a short story collection from him is a cause for celebration and rejoicing." |  The Music of Razors (2001) Cameron Rogers "A nightmarishly imaginative debut from a writer of real assurance and vision... Cameron Rogers is going to go places." |  Pattern Recognition (2002) William Gibson "PATTERN RECOGNITION is William Gibson's best book since he rewrote all the rules in NEUROMANCER. Gibson casts a master extrapolator's eye on our present, and shows it to us as if for the first time." | |
 The Fall of the Kings (2002) Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman "The Fall of the Kings is, if possible, even better [than Swordspoint]--twistier and deeper." |  Idlewild (2003) Nick Sagan "A genuine page turner... a rollercoaster ride of fusion fiction." |  Low Red Moon (2003) Caitlín R Kiernan "A gift for language that borders on the scary." | |
 The Wraiths of Will and Pleasure (2003) (Wraeththu Histories, book 1) Storm Constantine "I wouldn't swap her for a dozen Anne Rices!" |  Finding Helen (2003) Colin Greenland "His prose is as flexible and dangerous as a rapier...his stories go for both the head and the heart'" |  Murder of Angels (2004) Caitlín R Kiernan "A gift for language that borders on the scary." | |
 The Shades of Time and Memory (2004) (Wraeththu Histories, book 2) Storm Constantine "I wouldn't swap her for a dozen Anne Rices!" |  The Knight (2004) (Wizard Knight, book 1) Gene Wolfe "Important and wonderful." |  Glass Soup (2005) Jonathan Carroll "Jonathan Carroll is a changer. He's one of the special ones, one of the few... He gives you his eyes to see with, and he gives you the world all fresh and honest and new." | |
 Nasty Book (2005) (Nastybook, book 1) Barry Yourgrau "Very funny... and magnificently nasty." |  Soldier of Sidon (2006) (Soldier of the Mist, book 3) Gene Wolfe "Gene Wolfe is the smartest, subtlest, most dangerous writer alive today." |  The Neddiad: How Neddie Took the Train, Went to Hollywood, and Saved Civilization (2007) (Neddiad, book 1) Daniel Manus Pinkwater "It's funny and tender and strange and impossible to describe. What Pinkwater does is magic and I'm grateful for it." | |
 Token (2008) Alisa Kwitney "Alisa Kwitney is my guilty pleasure." |  Half World (2009) Hiromi Goto "Half World is a haunting combination of a coming of age novel and a spiritual quest, a mad funhouse of horrors and a tale of redemption and love. Wonderfully odd and quite unforgettable." |
