Novelist, comics writer, scriptwriter, poet, occasional artist - a master of several genres and inadvertent leader of many cults - there are few creative avenues Neil Gaiman hasn't ventured down. From unforgettable books like The Ocean at the End of the Lane and American Gods to ground-breaking comics and graphic novels like The Sandman and Violent Cases; from big screen fantasies like Coraline to small screen epics like Doctor Who; and from short stories to songwriting, stage plays to radio plays, journalism to filmmaking, and all points in-between, The Art of Neil Gaiman is the first comprehensive, full-colour examination of Gaiman's work to date.

A postman falls in love with a raven he finds on his route. He takes her home, and they become an unlikely couple, ultimately having a child—an extraordinary raven girl living in a human body.

Audrey Niffenegger's two novels, The Time Traveler's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry, have made her one of the most popular writers in the world.First serialised in the Guardian, The Night Bookmobile tells the story of a young woman who one night encounters a mysterious disappearing mobile library that happens to stock every book she has ever read.

From the author of the #1 bestselling The Time Traveler's Wife, a spectacularly compelling novel—set in and near Highgate Cemetery in London, about the love between twins, men and women, ghosts and the living. Julia and Valentina Poole are twenty-year-old sisters with an intense attachment to each other. One morning the mailman delivers a thick envelope to their house in the suburbs of Chicago. Their English aunt Elspeth Noblin has died of cancer and left them her London apartment. There are two conditions for this inheritance: that they live in the flat for a year before they sell it and that their parents not enter it. Julia and Valentina are twins. So were the girls’ aunt Elspeth and their mother, Edie. The girls move to Elspeth’s flat, which borders the vast Highgate Cemetery, where Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Stella Gibbons, and other luminaries are buried. Julia and Valentina become involved with their living neighbors: Martin, a composer of crossword puzzles who suffers from crippling OCD, and Robert, Elspeth’s elusive lover, a scholar of the cemetery. They also discover that much is still alive in Highgate, including—perhaps—their aunt.

The author of the New York Times bestseller The Time Traveler’s Wife returns with another evocative “novel in pictures,” the much-anticipated follow-up to 2005’s The Three Incestuous Sisters. The Adventuress follows the dreamlike journey of an alchemist’s daughter. After she is kidnapped by a lascivious baron, she turns herself into a moth and flees to the garden of a charming butterfly collector named Napoleon Bonaparte. The story of how the two become lovers, and how their affair ends in tragedy and transcendence, is told through Niffenegger’s spare prose and haunting aquatint etchings. With a stunning and distinctive visual style reminiscent of the work of Edward Gorey, this gothic romance packs the emotional heft of the world’s great fairy tales. It will delight fans of the author’s previous works and enchant an entirely new legion of readers.

Bevor Audrey Niffenegger mit ihrem Roman ›Die Frau des Zeitreisenden‹ zur Bestsellerautorin wurde, arbeitete sie als Buchkünstlerin in Chicago. Vierzehn Jahre lang zeichnete sie im ironisch abgründigem Stil Edward Goreys eine berückende Märchengeschichte – das Buch ihres Herzens. Dafür nutzte sie das alte und hoch komplizierte Druckverfahren Aquatinta, dessen sich schon Goya bedient hatte. In unvergeßlich starken Bildern und einer klaren Sprache erzählt Audrey Niffenegger die Geschichte der ›Drei Schwestern‹ Bettine, Ophile und Clothilde. Als sich alle drei in den schönen Jüngling Paris verlieben und Bettine schließlich ein Kind von ihm erwartet, bricht die Dreisamkeit auseinander. Aber das Kind ist ein Heiliger und führt am Ende ein Wunder herbei. Eine so märchenhaft wie wundersame Liebesgeschichte über Eifersucht, Rache und Versöhnung.
