作者: [英国] 尼尔·盖曼 HarperCollins 2008 - 10
Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family . . . Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic Coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, The Graveyard Book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages.

事到如今才反应过来这是一个(对杰克来说)俄狄浦斯式的故事,行走于边界的人是孤独的,正因为他们既可以走入门槛的这边,也可以走入那一边,才会同时被两边排斥,但与此同时有些事情也只有他们才能做,有些责任只有他们才能承担。生与死,可见与不可见,幼儿与成人,我们跨过一条条界限,向过去告别也是向死者告别,可是走向生的过程又何尝不是走向死呢。盖曼说为人父母的经历教他写出了这个故事,养育孩子也就是在指引他们离开自己,可是 Bod 的家在死者之间啊,终有一日,他会回来。PS.万万没想到盖曼的演技还不错……

虎头蛇尾,前面五集节奏奇怪,最后一集拼命加时还是删了很多情节,我最喜欢的就是 Rosie 母女在地下室的剖白与互救,Mrs. Noah堪称史上最佳fiancée's mother ,删了太多戏份人物更扁平了,可惜。

Sandman Vol. 11 Endless Nights 30th Anniversary Edition 豆瓣
作者: [英] 尼尔·盖曼 DC COMICS 2019 - 8
Alternately haunting, bittersweet, erotic and nightmarish, the seven stories in this book--one for each of the Endless siblings, each illustrated by one of the best artists in comics--reveal strange secrets and surprising truths. Now collected as the eleventh volume in Neil Gaiman's seminal, New York Times best-selling series, The Sandman Vol. 11- Endless Nights, celebrates its 30th anniversary with an all-new edition!
Joined by a dream team of artists from around the world, Neil Gaiman--the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of American Gods and Coraline--returns to the beloved characters he made famous in The Sandman Vol. 11- Endless Nights.
The Sandman Vol. 11- Endless Nights reveals the legend of the Endless, a family of magical and mythical beings who exist and interact in the real world. Born at the beginning of time, Destiny, Death, Dream, Desire, Despair, Delirium, and Destruction are seven brothers and sisters who each lord over their respective realms. In addition to the seven tales of the Endless, The Sandman- Endless Nights includes a biography section in the spirit of the Sandman collections (designed by Dave McKean) and a summary of each volume in the Sandman Library.
This highly imaginative book, the first graphic novel to be listed on the New York Times best-seller list, boasts diverse styles of breathtaking art as these seven peculiar and powerful siblings each reveal more about their true being as they star in their own tales of curiosity and wonder. Written by series creator Neil Gaiman, The Sandman- Endless Nights is illustrated by some of the industry's best talents, including Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman), P. Craig Russell (The Sandman- The Dream Hunters), Glenn Fabry (Preacher), Bill Sienkiewicz (Elektra) and more!

Destiny is blind. Desire and Despair are twins. Delirium was once Delight. Without Destruction, all stars would be lifeless and dark. Dream is always lonely, cause every dream is alone. And Death is there, waiting for all of us, for everything.

The Sandman (Audible Audio Edition) 豆瓣
作者: Neil Gaiman Audible Studios on Brilliance Audio 2020 - 9
Hailed by the Los Angeles Times Magazine as "the greatest epic in the history of comic books," The Sandman changed the game with its dark, literary world of fantasy and horror—creating a global, cultural phenomenon in the process. At long last, Audible and DC present the first-ever audio production of The New York Times best-selling series written by acclaimed storyteller Neil Gaiman (who also serves as co-executive producer). Adapted and directed by multi-award-winner (and frequent Gaiman collaborator) Dirk Maggs, and performed by an ensemble cast with James McAvoy (IT, IT Chapter Two, X-Men: First Class, Split) in the title role, this first installment of an original audio series will transport you to a world that rewrites the rules of audio entertainment the way that The Sandman originally redefined the graphic novel.
When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus—the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination—is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three "tools" that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence. As the multi-threaded story unspools, The Sandman descends into Hell to confront Lucifer (Michael Sheen), chases rogue nightmares who have escaped his realm, and crosses paths with an array of characters from DC comic books, ancient myths, and real-world history, including: inmates of Gotham City's Arkham Asylum, Doctor Destiny, the muse Calliope, the three Fates, William Shakespeare (Arthur Darvill), and many more.
A powerhouse supporting cast helps translate this masterwork into a sonic experience worthy of its legacy, including Riz Ahmed, Kat Dennings, Taron Egerton, Samantha Morton, Bebe Neuwirth, Andy Serkis, and more. Setting the stage for their performance is an unprecedented cinematic soundscape featuring an original musical score by British Academy Award winner James Hannigan. Fans will especially revel in a new twist for the audio adaptation: Neil Gaiman himself serves as the narrator. Follow him as he leads listeners along a winding path of myths, imagination and, often, terror. Even in your wildest dreams, you’ve never heard anything like this.
This first installment of the audio series The Sandman adapts volumes 1-3 of the graphic novel series (Preludes & Nocturnes, The Doll’s House, and Dream Country).
Based on characters created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth, and Mike Dringenberg.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane
8.4 (17 个评分) 作者: Neil Gaiman William Morrow 2013 - 6
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.

2018年 12 月购于广州方所。2021年1月,我终于,终于读完了!本书大概就是:1.跟着尼尔·盖曼读地摊文学(不对;2.跟着盖曼学夸同行/前辈/业界同事/老婆.etc(也不对;3.跟着盖曼了解上世纪40-90年代流行文化(这回对了。盖曼爱故事,爱书店,爱图书馆,爱朋友们,而我爱这个写出奇妙文字的人,这个真·四级词汇讲故事大师。最喜欢的还是写Terry Ptachett和Douglas Adams 的部分。There is fury, and there is love.
2020年8月12日 评论 怀念道格拉斯·亚当斯 - 我是在 1983 年年末认识道格拉斯的。《阁楼》杂志让我去采访他。我期待着能见到一个敏锐机智、口音像 BBC 播音员一样的人——听起来就像《银河系漫游指南》会发出的那种声音。我在他伊斯灵顿公寓的门口见到了一个很高大的男人,笑得很灿烂,高高的鼻子有点歪斜,看起来有点笨拙,活力十足,尽管他的身材很高大,但他看起来还在成长。他刚从好莱坞惨淡的生活中回到英国,他很高兴能回来。他友善风趣,十分健谈。他向我展示了几样东西:他非常沉迷于电脑,那时候世界上还没有几台电脑;还有他的吉他,还有巨大的吹塑蜡笔,他费了很大劲儿才从美国运回国,才知道在伊斯灵顿就能买到,而且很便宜。他很笨拙,经常撞到东西,被绊倒,或者突然跌到上面,把它们弄坏。 2001 年 5 月,我在事情发生后的第二天早上才从互联网(1983 年还没有这东西)上知道了道格拉斯去世的事。当时我正在接受一位记者的电话采访(记者人在香港),电脑屏幕上闪过道格拉斯·亚当斯去世的消息。我嗤之以鼻,不为所动(几天前,路·里德刚上了《周六夜现场》,平息了一轮关于他的死讯的网络谣言)。我点进链接,发现自己正在看的是 BBC 的新闻页面。道格拉斯确实死了。 “你没事吧?”香港的记者问我。 “道格拉斯·亚当斯死了。”我说,完全惊呆了。 “哦,是啊。”他说,“这边的新闻已经播了一天了。你认识他吗?” “是的。”我说。我们继续采访,我不知道自己还说了些什么。几周后记者又来联系我,说在我得知道格拉斯去世后,录音带里没有任何可用的连贯内容,问我是否介意再接受一次采访。 道格拉斯是一个非常友善的人,口才惊人,而且乐于助人。1986年,我在写《银河系漫游指南》的官方指南《不要惊慌!》时常常在他身边打转。我坐在他办公室的角落里,翻阅旧档案柜,翻出一沓又一沓的《银河系漫游指南》的草稿、早已被遗忘的喜剧素材、《神秘博士》的剧本、新闻剪报,而他总是很乐意回答问题,详细解释。他帮我联系了几十个我需要采访的人,比如杰弗里·帕金斯和约翰·劳埃德。他喜欢那本书,或者说至少他说他喜欢,那让我很欣慰。 (来自那段时期的记忆:坐在道格拉斯的办公室里,喝着茶,等他接完电话,好再采访他一会儿。他在电话里聊得很开心,谈论着他手上在做的一本叫《漫画的救济》的书。打完电话后他向我道歉,解释说,他不得不接那个电话,因为那是约翰·克里斯打来的,显然他在向我显摆:约翰·克里斯刚刚给他打了电话,而且他们像成年人一样专业地交谈。道格拉斯那时候已经认识克里斯九年了,但这还是让他很开心,而且他想让我知道这一点。道格拉斯的心里总有英雄存在。) 道格拉斯是独一无二的。当然了,我们每个人都是独特的,但在各种各样的人当中,只有一个道格拉斯·亚当斯。我从来没有见过第二个能把“不写作”升华为一种艺术形式的人。从来没有人能像他那样兴高采烈地极度悲观。没有人有那种轻松的笑容和弯弯的鼻子,也没有那种像是个保护力场似得淡淡的尴尬光环。 他去世之后,很多人来问我关于道格拉斯的事。我说我从来没有把他当做一个小说家看待过,真的没有,尽管他曾是一个国际畅销小说家,而且他写过的那几本书在四分之一世纪后成了经典。写小说是他不得已而为之的一个职业,或者说,他跌跌撞撞,不小心坐到了那里,还把它给弄坏了。 我想,道格拉斯可能是我们永远都不能找到恰当的词汇来描述的那种人。一个未来学家,一个解释者,诸如此类。总有一天,人们会意识到,世界上最重要的职业是有人能够用不会被世界忘记的方式来向世界解释它自身。这个人能够夸张地描绘濒危物种的艰难处境,轻松地像是对模拟集成电路种族解释迈向数字化意味着什么(或者至少对他来说是轻松的,因为惊人的是,道格拉斯做过的事从来都不容易)。他的梦想和奇思妙想,不管是讲究实在的还是不切实际的,都有如星辰般宏伟,他将继续前进,带着我们所有人一起。 那是一本写满了与梦想打交道的人的故事的书。 尼尔·盖曼 2013 年 5 月 15 日,博洛尼亚 要出简中版了,开心的同时有点犹豫该不该贴上这篇译文,感觉有点尴尬……现在我要去哭一场然后读看《困惑的三文鱼》。原文链接 https://www.neilgaiman.com/Cool_Stuff/Essays/Introductions/Remembering_Douglas ,本书页码 p120-122。

The Quite Nice and Fairly Accurate Good Omens Script Book 豆瓣 Goodreads
10.0 (7 个评分) 作者: Neil Gaiman Headline 2019 - 5
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.

《鬼妈妈》曾获2002年布莱姆·斯托克奖、2003年雨果奖最佳中篇小说、2003年星云奖最佳中篇小说、2003美国图书协会最佳青少年读物。是一部既写给孩子、又是写给大人看的风格诡异的幻想小说。作者尼尔·盖曼自己说:“我原本打算为我的女儿写一个5到1O页的短故事,但是故事自己有了生命……孩子们会把它当成一个有趣的冒险,大人看了却会做噩梦。”
