Dark, twisted and lovely. This is almost axiomatic for describing Gaiman's writing but go read it for yourself. It's witty and interesting and strangely funny with that ability to view the world at right angles to reality.

Richard Mayhew is living one of those lives where he is gently pushed into being whatever it is that is most convenient to those around him. In a moment of truth he abandons his finance on the way to an important dinner meeting and rescues a bleeding girl by the side of the road. His kindness thrusts him into another world, the London Below where magic is real and you really should Mind the Gap.
