Same sorta dark underlying vibe in

American Gods - by - Neil Gaiman

great story, not so well done as his second novel, but great literative style goin on.

Nevermore - By - Same dude as above.

his second novel (i believe), dark, good story, better put together than American Gods, though i found the story line more enjoyable in the first one.

enjoy.

Neverwhere (NOT Nevermore) was before American Gods and was based on a television series he wrote.

If you want to see Gaiman in his prime, I recommend reading the Sandman comics. Brilliant stuff.

Donnie Darko is the single greatest movie ever.

Way too obscure a movie to obtain that title, IMHO.

A little bit of explanation to the audience, I dunno, a chance to read the book at some point during the movie or something like that, would have been nice so that you didn't have to read it online to figure out exactly what was going on.

I did, however, love this movie.
