Description
A man returns to his childhood home for a funeral and finds himself drawn back to the events of his seventh birthday, a time when ancient, otherworldly forces were unleashed upon his world. As primal horrors and menacing creatures emerge, threatening his family and his very existence, he discovers that his only hope lies with three mysterious women living at the end of the lane. These enigmatic figures, one of whom claims her duckpond is an ocean and another who remembers the dawn of creation, hold the key to his survival against the encroaching darkness. Neil Gaiman masterfully weaves a tale of memory, magic, and the terrifying power of childhood fears made real.
