In case you’re not familiar with Neverwhere: It’s a dark, urban story set in “London below,” which runs parallel to “London above,” and combines elements of fantasy, crime, and romance. Especially fun for the Anglophile is Gaiman naming various characters in the story after London place names, thus we encounter the likes of Old Bailey, Islington, and Earl of Earl’s Court.
Gaiman, an English author (now living near Minneapolis, MN), has won many prestigious writing awards, including 4 Hugos, 2 Nebulas, 4 Bram Stoker Awards, 6 Locus Awards, 2 British SF Awards, a World Fantasy Award, a Newbery Medal, a Carnegie Medal, etc. Anglophiles, especially those with a bent toward Steampunk or Sci-Fi culture, will undoubtedly want to catch this Neverwhere radio drama.
