I said a while back that I wanted to read "a study in emerald" by Neil Gaiman. Well, I finally did, and can proclaim that it is very good

Enjoy

American Gods was fun. I passed by something called Anasazi Boys? in the bookstore. That a sequel/shared universe thing? His Sandman stories were brilliant, made a significant dent in my brain back in the day. Most horror/fantasy stories are are what happens when unearthly, and terrible things happen to everyday ordinary people. I like how in his stories, it's more like everyday, ordinary things happen to terrible and unearthly people.AndrewGPaul wrote:Miéville is what you get if you read both Dragon Magazine and the Socialist Worker.I've read all three of his Bas-Lag novels, but not any of the others yet.
In the world of Sci-fi, you may be interested in Alastair Reynolds. Big, epic space opera, but really rather twisted and somewhat gruesome up close.
Regarding American Gods, that book apparently shares a universe with Stardust. There's a sequel novella in Fragile Things and apparently plans for a proper sequel at some point.
