You don't have to be British to enjoy it' but since London Below (the
otherworld that we get to explore) is accessed from the Tube and so many of
the locations are based on Tube stations I always recommend it to
Londoners - it gives you a whole new perspective. Besides you can really
enlighten a boring commute by trying to spot people from London Below :)
Gaimen specialises in a quite dark and sometimes cynical humour. There's one
by him set in a trip across America which might appeal to you even more but
I haven't read it yet, it's on my list next time I'm not broke :)
