Scytale:
I just Finished reading "Anansi Boys" today and wow, the only other book of he's I've read is "American Gods", but anyway he's writing is really enjoyable, I guess you'd call it modern fantasy. Is anyone else familiar with he's works, any reccomendations on what to read next, I hear he has a lot of graphic novels published, I've never really gotten into that sort of thing but if the writing is this good I may have to check it out.

Valrus:
Well yeah, the Sandman series is pretty much incredible, but it's a big investment. I believe the typical thing to do is borrow it from a friend who's more obsessed or has more money than you, but you might be able to find some of the trade paperbacks at a used book store. And of course there's always The Absolute Sandman if you've got money to burn.

doki:
also 1602, which is rightious if you are a marvel fan like me

ampersandwitch:
Neverwhere, Fragile Things, Smoke and Mirrors.

And Stardust is early as hell, but still somewhat entertaining.

Utopian:
Anansi Boys was the first book of his I read. Oh actually now I yype that I realise it was Coraline, which is a children's book, and incredibly creepy. I was probably 19/20 when I read it but it left me properly disturbed.

Anansi Boys was the second. I'm also working through The Sandman books and recently read Neverwhere which is probably one of the best books I've ever, ever read.

He has such an interesting take on everything - I love the detail in the scenery and the way the characters are described. So dark but filled with humour.

You might also like Robert Rankin, although that's more comic, less dark.
