There is a distinct hint of Armageddon in the air. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, the Four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witch-finders are getting ready to fight the good fight, armed with awkwardly antiquated instructions and stick pins. Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. . . . Right. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. </p>
Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon -- each of whom has lived among Earth's mortals for many millennia and has grown rather fond of the lifestyle -- are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. If Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the Antichrist (which is a shame, as he's a really nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. . . . </p>
First published in 1990, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's brilliantly dark and screamingly funny take on humankind's final judgment is back -- and just in time -- in a new hardcover edition (which includes an introduction by the authors, comments by each about the other, and answers to some still-burning questions about their wildly popular collaborative effort) that the devout and the damned alike will surely cherish until the end of all things. </p>

Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.

一個很衰卻總是面帶微笑的男孩，三隻總是吱喳個沒完沒了的動物，來自巨人國卻有點名過其實的冰霜巨人…… 故事靈感來自北歐神話，充滿想像力，簡短卻完美；尼爾．蓋曼帶著讀者踏上天馬行空的魔幻旅程，往返巨人與諸神之境……
從前從前在維京村落裡，有個男孩叫做兀特；當時在那個地方，取這名字沒什麼奇怪不尋常的。兀特的意思是「刀尖」，是個會帶來好運的名字。不過，他的確突兀奇特－－至少村民是這麼覺得。真要說他和名字哪裡不像，那就是︰他的運氣壞透了！父親在維京人遠征途中喪命；他的腿被倒下的樹壓得粉碎；母親改嫁，他跟新家人格格不入；而今年春天遲遲不來，無盡的嚴冬讓村民脾氣暴躁危險。
兀特在森林裡遇到熊、狐狸和老鷹－－這三隻動物告訴他一個奇妙的故事，一個關於神與巨人老是打架、互相欺騙，而這次是巨人贏了的故事。只有非常特別的男孩，才能給這個故事一個令人微笑的結局。必須是開朗惱人又聰明的男孩；像兀特這樣的男孩……

天國近了！但是──連天使也不想回天堂？
末日降臨！但是──惡魔卻不想讓世界毀滅？
當《美國眾神》暢銷作家與英國超級幽默天王聯手惡搞，世界末日也成了最優雅的瘋狂喜劇！
當惡魔與天使在人間待了數千年之久，會變成什麼樣子？
這一切的一切，都要從創世之初的那顆蘋果談起，它搭起了惡魔克羅里與大天使阿茲拉斐爾友誼的橋梁。
總之，數千年前呢，天使惡魔本一家，不僅從伊甸園時代就常並肩談心，奉雙方頭頭之命降到人間執行任務之後，一邊明爭暗鬥爭奪末世魔王，一邊還定期喝茶聊天交換心得（同時暗中使盡渾身解數勾引對方倒戈）！甚至因為在人間過得太久，反而比人還有人性！惡魔使用20世紀種種高科技產品簡直如魚得水，美酒、美食與音樂如數家珍；天使當起舊書店老闆，假公濟私獨家收藏各式瑕疵版聖經，還想盡辦法阻止客人買走他的藏書！
你以為聖經啟示錄所預言的末日審判，是種種令人恐懼的大災難？其實不是，它是精密到容易出包的連環計畫！惡魔好不容易及時趕到醫院，將撒旦之子和剛出生的嬰兒掉包成功，並且開始實施長期監控感化計畫，沒想到──掉包計畫竟然失手！世界末日已進入倒數階段，帶來四大災難的天啟四騎士已經出動──但真正的魔王之子在哪裡？
尼爾．蓋曼的《美國眾神》邀來世界各地諸神明站台，原來從《好預兆》中便可見端倪！除了「天使x魔鬼酷帥二人組」領銜演出之外，還有因應時代變遷成了飆車族的天啟四騎士、惡魔好幫手喋喋修女會、好孩子模範的真假撒旦之子、無人知曉的真正預言家女巫阿格妮思及其家族後代、堅守崗位的獵巫中隊；友情客串的地獄公爵、「是真的」靈媒、使命必達的快遞員、撒旦、神……甚至請到皇后合唱團配樂，來自西藏、美國、亞特蘭提斯、外星的頂尖歌舞團演出，陣容堅若磐石，華麗度破表！
但是，你以為本書只是純粹搞笑無厘頭嗎？末日審判是怎麼回事？到底是誰想毀滅世界？種種巧合與意外，背後有什麼陰謀？天使與惡魔可以跨越種族藩籬互相了解嗎（誤）？藏在惡搞笑點底下不著痕跡探討人性的善與惡，本書堪稱「寓教於樂」的最佳範本（大誤）。
從書名可以看出，這部小說是在諧擬1976年的恐怖電影《天魔》（The Omen，2006年重拍），及該類型的電影與小說。關於改編電影：（這不是重要事件，只是八卦一則……）關於改編電影：據說泰瑞吉蘭（Terry Gilliam，《巴西》、《奇幻城市》、《未來總動員》、《神鬼剋星》、《奇幻世界》導演，公認才華洋溢，擅拍瘋狂諷刺喜劇片）正在籌畫，但進展緩慢。一項未經證實的傳言說強尼戴普和羅賓威廉斯將擔綱演出克羅里與阿茲拉斐爾，這兩位優異的演員都曾與泰瑞吉蘭合作過。
儘管本片訊息已經從IMDB上移除，導演仍於2006年表示希望能拍成此片。（但根據導演拍片習性與之前狀況，書迷與影迷還是不要過度期待比較好……）泰瑞普萊契對好萊塢的看法與吉蘭憤世嫉俗的觀點不謀而合，在本書後記中提及：「尼爾喜歡抱著希望，心想或許哪天能成真，不過泰瑞確定不可能。反正得等到他們真的在首映場上啃爆米花，不然兩人都不會相信。即使真有那天，他們八成還是無法置信。」
本書乃無厘頭惡搞聖經啟示錄與世界末日審判之最正確示範！（但是兩位大叔有練過，小孩子在家不要學喔！）
此書還能帶你上天下地，深刻體會上帝「不可言說」的旨意。
如果你抱著看災難冒險動作片的心態，想看肌肉英雄拯救世界，那很抱歉，你可以按esc鍵退出了。
書中碎碎念程度直逼喋喋修女會，非常適宜作為睡前讀物──但若你的天線在那一瞬間接上作者的電波，那麼你可能整晚都躲在棉被裡吃吃地笑到天亮還無法放下本書，顏面神經勞動過度嚴重受損不說，還會被父母或室友以為你因為甄試／學測／指考／魔獸帳號被盜／報告／被當／論文／面試／寫試讀書評／被發好人卡而精神崩潰了。（注）
注：編輯因已受《好預兆》電波同化，上文恐怕已有99.9%為外星文，看得懂的就請自求多福。
《好預兆》趣味無用小知識獨家提供
一、莫非定律之克羅里增修條文：當你想來個貍貓換太子，不管怎麼精密計畫，到手的一定還是貍貓！
二、天使暨舊書店老闆獨家提供稀有版聖經藏書密技：買不到就偷，偷不到就──自己做一本！
三、下列哪位音樂家上了天堂？A巴哈；B海頓；C貝多芬；D莫札特。（答案：以上皆非！）

「看完《好預兆》之後我的腦細胞立刻死一半，對這兩位作家kuso神祇的功力自嘆弗如。」
──部落客／IMPUZZLE
「天使的設定實在是太KUSO太有趣了！書商先生（臥底身分）好可愛──附身腹語術大好！你把所有天使內心的OS都講出來了！」
──部落客／夏夏
「這是我見過諷刺人性、諷刺人類社會荒謬行為、諷刺團體迷思，再正經不過的一本小說了。作者冷靜而微妙的英式笑點充斥，將人們種種不合理、邏輯打結的行為巧妙包裝、轉換，以詼諧、冷鋒的口吻訴說成荒謬無稽，卻寓意深遠的笑話。」
──部落客／menasi
「《好預兆》從一個陳舊老套的世界末日發想，提供另一種夠Kuso、夠機車、夠胡扯的方式提醒你，或許，只要一個念頭的轉變，就算是世界末日，也能變得好玩起來！」
──部落客／心戒
「當故事寶窟遇見幽默大師，當然就會產生幽默的故事，不管題材是如何聳動震撼人心，它還是一個幽默的故事。世界末日的題材向來都場面浩大且賺人熱淚，不過尼爾．蓋曼跟泰瑞．普萊契才不吃這一套，新作《好預兆》就是個這麼新穎有趣的組合！」
──部落客／林瀟灑

The storyline won the "Best Comic" SFX Sci-Fi Award in 2010.It won the 2009 British Fantasy Award for Best Comic/Graphic Novel. In April 2010, it was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story

One of fiction's most audaciously original talents, Neil Gaiman now gives us a mythology for a modern age -- complete with dark prophecy, family dysfunction, mystical deceptions, and killer birds. Not to mention a lime. Anansi 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."
