Some ebooks from Neil Gaiman. These are some of his illustrated & graphic novels.

These are more along the line of stories that are illustrated, not his comics work on Sandman, etc.Neil Gaiman Illustrated & Graphic StoriesViolent Cases

An exploration of the trappings of violence and the failings of memory, Violent Cases marks the beginning of the astonishing and award-winning collaboration between author Neil Gaiman and the artist Dave McKean, offered in its first Dark Horse edition, in softcover format with coverflaps. Set only in the memory of its author, this brillant short story meanders through levels of recollection surrounding a childhood injury. After dislocating his arm, a young boy is taken to see a doctor - an aged osteopath who was once the doctor of legendary gangster Al Capone. Through studied observations and painstaking attempts at truthful recall, the author reconstructs his tattered memories of the events surrounding his meeting with the doctor, and delves into the psychological complexities that emerged from the doctor's bizarre tales of Capone's life of crime.

-----------THE TRAGICAL COMEDY OR COMICAL TRAGEDY OF MR PUNCH: A ROMANCE

Is there anything more disturbing and strange than children's entertainment? Not when it's placed in the hands of Gaiman and McKean. "The path of memory is neither straight nor safe, and we travel down it at our own risk," the narrator tell us a few pages in to MR PUNCH. "It is easier to take short journeys into the past, remembering in miniature, constructing tiny puppet plays in our heads. That's the way to do it."MR PUNCH (or, to give it its full title, THE TRAGICAL COMEDY OR COMICAL TRAGEDY OF MR PUNCH: A ROMANCE) is a distillation of some of Neil Gaiman's favourite subjects: memory and childhood, family and betrayal.

-----------Signal to Noise

Originally serialized in The Face, Signal to Noise is the story of a film director dying of cancer. His life's crowning achievement, his greatest film, would have told the story of a European village as the last hour of 999 A.D. approached -- the midnight that the villagers were convinced would bring with it Armageddon. Now that story will never be told. But he's still working it out in his head, making a film that no one will ever see. No one but us. Signal to Noise is a poignant story, rich in humanity, depth, and communications theory.

-----------Creatures of the Night

Creatures of the Night features two stories by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by Michael Zulli. "The Price" and "Daughter of Owls" draw heavily on Neil's passion for drawing on the magic and mystery of folk tales, not to mention his love of animals.Gaiman has a gift for making the ordinary fantastic, such as making a sleepy home in the country the scene of a visitation by the Devil, and of making the fantastic ordinary; he makes that same visitation, once it's discovered, a seemingly regularly occurring event, albeit one that takes place below the range of everyday radar.Gaiman also loves cats, and the warmth of that affection shines from every page of "The Price," an engaging little tale about an enigmatic black cat who turns up on the doorstep of a writer's country home. The mysterious, almost human-like fellow, who has the family in the palm of his charming paw, positions himself outside the door of the family home each night, acting as a sort of guardian. As each morning dawns, however, the cat becomes steadily the worse for wear, covered with injuries from which he can barely recover, each morning worse than the last. It's clear that he's been fighting with something but no tracks or signs of any other creature leaves his adopted family with a mystery on their hands...The book is worth having for Zulli's illustrations alone. A true feast for the eyes, the sharp, clear lines illuminate every dark, beautiful aspect of the stories, capturing pain and beauty in equal doses. Zulli uses dark spaces very well, contrasting them with pale swatches of color that make the story leap off the page. Gaiman fans won't be disappointed, and those interested in checking out his work could use Creatures of the Night as a decent introduction to Gaiman's work.

-- Denver Rocky Mountain NewsAnansi Boys

God is dead. Meet the kids.When Fat Charlie's dad named something, it stuck. Like calling Fat Charlie "Fat Charlie." Even now, twenty years later, Charlie Nancy can't shake that name, one of the many embarrassing "gifts" his father bestowed — before he dropped dead on a karaoke stage and ruined Fat Charlie's life.Mr. Nancy left Fat Charlie things. Things like the tall, good-looking stranger who appears on Charlie's doorstep, who appears to be the brother he never knew. A brother as different from Charlie as night is from day, a brother who's going to show Charlie how to lighten up and have a little fun ... just like Dear Old Dad. And all of a sudden, life starts getting very interesting for Fat Charlie.Because, you see, Charlie's dad wasn't just any dad. He was Anansi, a trickster god, the spider-god. Anansi is the spirit of rebellion, able to overturn the social order, create wealth out of thin air, and baffle the devil. Some said he could cheat even Death himself.Returning to the territory he so brilliantly explored in his masterful New York Times bestseller, American Gods, the incomparable Neil Gaiman offers up a work of dazzling ingenuity, a kaleidoscopic journey deep into myth that is at once startling, terrifying, exhilarating, and fiercely funny — a true wonder of a novel that confirms Stephen King's glowing assessment of the author as "a treasure-house of story, and we are lucky to have him."NeverwhereRichard Mayhew is a plain man with a good heart -- and an ordinary life that is changed forever on a day he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. From that moment forward he is propelled into a world he never dreamed existed -- a dark subculture flourishing in abandoned subway stations and sewer tunnels below the city -- a world far stranger and more dangerous than the only one he has ever known..."I didn't ever want this book to end ... Hunter, Islington, Door -- these characters are part of my life now. I see them when I turn corners."

-- Tori Amos"Excellent ... [Gaiman creates] an alternate city beneath London ... that is engaging, detailed, and fun to explore.... Best of all, unlike Richard Mayhew's life in the mundane world of London above, Neverwhere is never, never dull."

-----------Stardust

NOTE: This is the fully illustrated version with Charles Vess, the World Fantasy award winning artist.

In the tranquil fields and meadows of long-ago England, there is a small hamlet that has stood on a jut of granite for 600 years. Just to the east stands a high stone wall, for which the village is named. Here, in the hamlet of Wall, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the hauntingly beautiful Victoria Forester. And here, one crisp October eve, Tristran makes his love a promise -- an impetuous vow that will send him through the only breach in the wall, across the pasture ... and into the most exhilarating adventure of his life."Stardust abounds in wonder... Gaiman employs exquisitely rich language, natural wisdom, good humor, and a dash of darkness to conjure up a fairy tale in the grand tradition."

-- Publishers Weekly"An adult fairy tale about love, danger, friendship, magic, and adventure. Infused with wry humor ... it is a short novel that delivers big-time satisfaction."
