Neil Gaiman

If you haven't already read Gaiman's short stories in Smoke and Mirrors, I'd suggest Barry Hughart's Bridge of Birds (winner of World Fantasy Award back in the 1980s)

A friend of mine really raves about "The Graveyard". She wrote a review about it here: http://greenfaeriedust.blogspot.com/2010/03/graveyard-book-by-neil-gaiman-45.html

Not got around to reading it myself, but I always trust her judgement on these things :-)

Try Neverwhere, his novelisation of his TV series of the same name.

And seconded for The Graveyard Book. It's for the same audience as The Jungle Book -- in more ways than one. So, depending on taste, you might find it too juvenile.

His 'children's' books are quite a good read. The Graveyard Book and Stardust are particularly good.

Also, read The Sandman. Now. Go. NOW.

Neverwhere, The Graveyard Book, Stardust, Good Omens. My first Gaiman book was American Gods and after that I was hooked.

You might check out the Nightside series by Simon Green. It's a little bit of Neverwhere and American Gods rolled together.

a different author entirely, but how about The Child Thief by Brom? It's vibe is similar to Gaiman's books: a dark, modern, fantasy. It's a loose retelling of Peter Pan, with a whole lot of moral ambiguity.

you may want to wait a few months for the paperback since the hardcover weighs like 10 lbs.
