Neil Gaiman Stops in Saratoga for Final Book Tour

By Staff Report | Entertainment

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Neil Gaiman will visit Saratoga City Center, Thursday, June 20 at 6 p.m. for Off the Shelf: Authors in Conversation with Joe Donahue. Gaiman will present his new novel, The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Tickets are on sale now.

“Poignant and heartbreaking, eloquent and frightening, impeccably rendered, it’s a fable that reminds us how our lives are shaped by childhood experiences, what we gain from them and the price we pay.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  

From one of the world’s most beloved storytellers—#1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman—comes his first adult novel in eight years. Wondrous and imaginative, and at times deeply scary, The Ocean at the End of the Lane captures the very essence of childhood fear and uncertainty. In a clash of memory and reality, it is a pitched fever dream of a novel, and could very well be Gaiman’s most accomplished work to date. 

Ticket prices are $35, which includes admission for one and one copy of The Ocean at the End of the Lane; and $45, which includes admission for two and one copy of The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Tickets can be purchased at the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, VT or online at www.northshire.com and are selling quickly. 

For more information on this and other events, call (802) 362-2200 or (800) 437-3700, or visit the Northshire Bookstore website at www.northshire.com.
