内容简介
······
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
作者简介

I make things up and write them down. Which takes us from comics (like SANDMAN) to novels (like ANANSI BOYS and AMERICAN GODS) to short stories (some are collected in SMOKE AND MIRRORS) and to occasionally movies (like Dave McKean's MIRRORMASK or the NEVERWHERE TV series, or my own short film A SHORT FILM ABOUT JOHN BOLTON).
In my spare time I read and sleep and eat and try to keep the blog at www.neilgaiman.com more or less up to date.

虽以七岁孩子视角来写，不适合孩童。黑暗无幽默。惊悚瑰丽一如往常。
推荐给所有友邻
As simple as children's book, but the meanings behind it are way beyond than what you expected. You will be surprised, like I did.
今年的Xmas gift！超惊喜。一拿到就忍不住翻了起来，一口气翻了几十页觉得这样下去这么厚一本应该很快读完了又不舍，于是强令自己减慢速度。。。–果然一个晚上读完，是248页啦不是190页。世界观设定果然又宏大了起来，可是感觉很多东西都没讲清楚。NG 有了自己的模板了，看到中间一直忍不住想到卡罗琳的故事。以及他果然是个永远长不大的，玻璃心的7岁小男孩。
