一座普通的农场，一幢普通的老屋，一条普通的车道……走过去，走进去——你会进入一个陌生、可怕、精彩的世界，一个截然不同于日常生活的异世界。
在这个异世界里，有来自远古的邪祟，有对抗邪祟的魔法，还有可以吞噬一切的饿鸟。
还有，在这个世界，你可以有求必应。（小心哦，也许求得的后果你无法承受。）
在这里，普通的小男孩可以挺身对抗邪恶。在这里，农场的小池塘其实是大海汪洋！
这是尼尔·盖曼最拿手的设定：现实和幻想，只隔着薄薄的一张纸。继《鬼妈妈》之后，他再一次撕开这张薄纸，邀请读者走进他的幻想世界。

Before he died in 2015, Terry Pratchett asked Neil Gaiman to make a television series of the internationally beloved novel they wrote together about the end of the world.
And so, Neil began to write. And continued to write until he had six episodes that brought an angel, Aziraphale, and a demon, Crowley, (the only things standing between us and the inevitable Armageddon) to life for the screen.
Contained between the covers of this book are the scripts that Neil wrote, which later turned into some of the most extraordinary television ever made. Take a tour behind the scenes with a text that reveals the secrets of the show, still has the missing bits and, sometimes, asks for the impossible. Step backstage and see the magic for yourself. You may just learn as much from the scenes that never made the final cut as from those that did.

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>

主角之一名叫克鲁利，穿着时尚，开的车是本特利，除了毁灭人类之外没有固定工作——因为他是魔王撒旦的手下。
另一位主角名叫亚茨拉菲尔，珍本书商，业余魔术师。他是个天使，给上帝干活儿。
还有一位主角名叫亚当，普普通通的一个小孩。当然，这本书里没几个普通人，尤其是这一位。他的真实身份是：神之大敌、诸王的毁灭者、无底深渊的天使、名叫恶龙的猛兽、此界的王子、谎言之父、撒旦之种和黑暗之君。一句话，撒旦的亲儿子。
本书讲述的是世界末日的故事，也就是善恶大决战。问题是，亚茨拉菲尔和克鲁利（天使和魔鬼）本是几千年的老朋友，经常喝酒聊天，而且结成了同盟，对各自上司交办的差事都敷衍了事。还有，亚当这个撒旦之子也觉得地球挺不错，把它毁了怪可惜的……

一个婴儿。一座坟场。一次刺杀的结束，一个传奇的开始。在墓园里。有幽灵。有食尸鬼。还有神秘的守护者。连死神也亲自出马。（不用担心。她是一位和蔼的女士。）在人世间，有骗子，有恶棍，也有普通的老百姓。还有一位天真烂漫的小姑娘。

成长故事，法术修炼。冒险经历，少年初恋。贯穿全书的是刺杀与复仇的较量。

墓地的阴森反衬出鬼魂的温情。喧嚣的人世却冷漠无情。但最终，坟场里成长的少年仍将告别往昔。走向社会。走向成年……

《美国众神》描述主人公——影子从监狱释放后，穿越美国大陆的旅行过程中的一系列奇遇。讲他与生活在美国土地上的各种神祇相遇，由此引发了出许多精彩动人、奇诡绚丽的故事。
影子为一个叫做星期三的老头跑腿当差使，而星期三其实是一个名叫奥丁的老神仙。奥丁是在9世纪的时候，搭乘怀着早期维京探险者的挪威梦想来到北美的。他不过是美国的无数神祇之一。影子随后还遭遇了主神奥丁的兄弟、狡诈之神洛奇，来自埃及的圣猫女神巴斯特，斯拉夫的黑暗与死亡之神岑诺博格，来自西非的骗术之神南西，印度教的毁灭之神伽梨，埃及神话中的冥界之神阿努比斯，盎格鲁－撒克逊神话中的黎明之神伊斯特，等等。

很久很久以前，英格兰有一个宁静的小村庄，村庄被鹅卵石城墙所包围，所以称为“石墙村”。虽然只是薄薄一面城墙，却世世代代地保护着这里的村民，因为一墙之隔的外面世界，是充满奇迹和意外的仙境。
特里斯坦·桑恩是个再普通不过的年轻人，他爱上了村里最美丽的姑娘维多利亚，并许下诺言，要带回天上落下的星星来献给维多利亚。为了心中至爱，特里斯坦冒险穿越那道象征着禁忌的城墙，进入另一个世界——那里有风起云涌的风暴堡，神秘邪恶的女巫，古怪滑稽的魔法。当特里斯坦最终到达流星降落之地时，他看到的竟然不是预期中的陨石，而是一个美丽、勇敢的女人……在猝然坠落地球之时，“星星”不小心崴了脚，然而这只是一切不幸的开始而已，打从她脚落地开始，各种意料不到的危险便悄然降临了……
《星尘》远不止是个童话，它有幸福的结局，却依然透出人类永恒的悲伤。
