In the 1990s, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman was the comic book of choice for the self-described sophisticated reader (and I should know, because I was kind of one of them). Post-modern and progressive, the story of the Dream King paved the way for Gaiman's career as a celebrated—and bestselling—novelist. In this episode, I'm sharing a favorite novel by Neil Gaiman, which is also one of his earliest: the story of a young Scotsman who moved to London for work and had his world turned upside down when he stopped to help a girl on the sidewalk named Door.

This is Neverwhere, and it might just be your next favorite book.
