Anxiously Awaiting... The Ocean at the End of the Lane!

So, did YOU know that Neil Gaiman has a new book coming out next year called The Ocean at the End of the Lane? I only just found out! It sounds good, too...

Publication date: June 18, 2013
Synopsis:
It began for our narrator forty years ago, when the family lodger stole their car and committed suicide in it, stirring up ancient powers best left undisturbed. 

His only defense are three women on a farm at the end of the lane. The youngest of them claims that her duckpond is ocean. The oldest can remember the Big Bang.

 
To quote Neil himself, “The Ocean at the End of the Lane is a novel of childhood and memory. It’s a story of magic, about the power of stories and how we face the darkness inside each of us. It’s about fear, and love, and death, and families. But, fundamentally, I hope, at its heart, it’s a novel about survival.” (description and quote from Tor.com)
