Ocean at the End of the Lane



The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by Neil Gaiman          181 pages
This has probably been one of my favorite books by Gaiman.  A man who has come back to his childhood neighborhood for a funeral finds himself at the home of a friend, Lettie Hempstock.  Lettie no longer lives there, but her family does and when he goes to the back of the house and sees the pond he remembers a fantastic but terrifying adventure that he and Lettie had when they were children.  This was an excellent story that was reminiscent of Stephen King’s style of books, although perhaps not quite as horrifying.  I would recommend it to fans of fantasy and horror.
