About
Neil Gaiman (born 10 November 1960 in Portchester, Hampshire) is an English writer of novels, short fiction, comics, screenplays and audio drama. He worked as a journalist before moving into comics, where his DC series The Sandman, begun in 1989, recast the title character as Morpheus, lord of dreams, and became one of the most acclaimed comics of its era.
His novels include Good Omens, written with Terry Pratchett, as well as Neverwhere, Stardust, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Coraline and The Ocean at the End of the Lane, and his short fiction is collected in Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things.
His work has won Hugo, Nebula, Bram Stoker and World Fantasy awards, and The Graveyard Book made him the first author to win both the Newbery Medal and the Carnegie Medal for the same book. He was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 2018.
Born and raised in England, he has lived in the United States for many years.
