Fantasy author Neil Gaiman''s 1996 novel Neverwhere is not just a marvelous self-contained novel, but a terrifically useful text for introducing students to fantasy as a genre and issues of adaptation. Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock''s briskly written A Critical Companion to Neil Gaiman''s Neverwhere offers an introduction to the work; situates it in relation to the fantasy genre, with attention in particular to the Hero''s Journey, urban fantasy, word play, social critique, and contemporary fantasy trends; and explores it as a case study in transmedial adaptation.
