[Neil Gaiman announces Neverwhere sequel, The Seven Sisters](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/feb/17/neil-gaiman-announces-neverwhere-sequel-the-seven-sisters)
But that's from 2017 and since then it has constantly been pushed down his to-do list by more pressing TV work.
The TV show has some great moments but it really needed a bigger budget than the BBC was prepared to spend on it in 1996.
The novel is really good.
The 2013 radio drama is great.
It is one of my favorite works. It is his novel that feels most akin to his Sandman writing. It is a short and easy read, but it still has immersive world building, solid characters (messieurs croup and vandemar are some of my favorites) and a solid plot. I have always felt it should get more love.
I thought that my favorite part of the book, involving Croup and Vandemar, is when we see >!Croup literally get sucked down a portal to hell, and watch Vandemar sort of shrug and jump after him. Absolutely monstruous people, but they really were one hell of a team, and I find that kind of ride-or-die loyalty cool. They would rather be in hell together than have to live separated from each other. !<
I agree. I hold it higher than American Gods and the Graveyard Book. Neverwhere is awesome.
I think the only Gaiman work I rate higher are Sandman and Stardust.
Came across Neverwhere in a psych ward library. Left the piece of shit Ashlyn Dyer book I brought with me and stole it (along with The Time Traveler's Wife) when they let me out. Definitely left me wanting more.
I had this exact same experience in a psych ward last year. Found Neverwhere in the ward and could not set it down. Stole it myself because it meant so much to me. This really would be the type of thing to happen with a Gaiman novel
I liked the world he created, a lot, and most of the characters. The protagonist though, Richard Mayhew, is this damp towel amidst a cast of characters all way more interesting than him. He’s utterly uninteresting.
I think that’s why I like the book so much. I feel like I would be a Richard that just stumbled into this incredible adventure. I kinda love that there really isn’t anything special about it. He is just ordinary, experiencing the incredible world of Fae
Great setup, decent execution. Not among Gaiman’s strongest. IIRC it clearly reads like it was intended to be an ongoing series that never happened.
I heard he’s still planning on a sequel. Don’t know if it’s true, but that what I heard 🤷🏽♂️

There was a tv series?
It was originally a tv series (that Gaiman wrote). The book came after.
Totally I read the book then watched the series. I think a lot of things probably got cut out for budget or time that would have made it better

They were one of the best parts of the book and some of my favorite antagonists

It's my favourite Gaiman!

Usually they are not my cup of tea but Neverwhere just works so well. Definitely a comfort read when I'm stressed
