Neverwhere Everywhere

 suggested that I read Neverwhere by Neil Gaimen, so I did and I loved it.

I was so enthralled by it that I ordered the original DVD series and the graphic novel!

While they don't add to the story (the book version being the most complete) the graphic novel apparently presents the story better visually speaking and the original series is where it all started (I've read all about the video/film issues but that's ok)

The whole lot got me really interested in the disused underground tube stations of London. One of my company's clients is responsible for the London underground, could you imagine getting a tour of the accessible ones?

Would love to see an expansion on the story.

Books

Ordered some books from Amazon to fuel my up & down interest in Victorian literature & it's presence in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

The first is quite big & covers a multitude of characters, locations & ideas.

The Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana

Heroes & Monsters: The Unofficial Companion to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 1

A Blazing World: The Unofficial Companion to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 2

Already shipped & should be here soon.
