It began for our narrator forty years ago when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. Dark creatures from beyond the world are on the loose, and it will take everything our narrator has just to stay alive: there is primal horror here, and menace unleashed-- within his family and from the forces that have gathered to destroy it. His only defense is three women on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is an ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang.

4 (Muito bom)

Alimenta e ao mesmo tempo desconstrói o encantamento da infância e a maneira como nos lembramos dessa época. Um livro que, certamente, conta muito mais do que suas poucas páginas parecem dizer...
Gaiman trás tantas lições sobre a confiança plena em alguém, a imaginação, e sobretudo, o valor dos laços que criamos com outras pessoas.
