This was a really fun read, although it was aimed more at teenagers and I was expecting something more adult, the only other Neil Gaiman book I’ve read was his collaboration with Terry Pratchett, Good Omens.
The story is a dark one, with death, suicide, witches and a portal to another world, told through the eyes of a 40 year old recollecting his child hood at the age of 7.
This would definitely make an amazing Tim Burton animation, but an even better R rated Clive Barker horror!
