Fantasy author Neil Gaiman’s 1996 novel Neverwhere is not just a
marvelous self-contained novel, but a terrifically useful text for
introducing students to fantasy as a genre and issues of
adaptation. Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock’s briskly written A Critical
Companion to Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere offers an introduction to
the work; situates it in relation to the fantasy genre, with
attention in particular to the Hero’s Journey, urban fantasy,
word play, social critique, and contemporary fantasy trends; and
explores it as a case study in transmedial adaptation. The study
ends with an interview with Neil Gaiman that addresses the novel
and a bibliography of scholarly works on Gaiman. Â
