Handmaids are one of numerous social classes designated to women in Gilead's caste system, and they are charged for breeding, being forced to bear children for the ruling class's infertility. It is now both a literary classic and a blockbuster television series. The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian novel that follows Offred, a handmaid in the totalitarian ruins of the United States, now known as the Republic of Gilead.

The audiobook is read by Gaiman himself, while a full-cast audio drama offers a more immersive journey through London Below.Losing yourself in the fantastic world of science fiction has a certain allure. Gaiman's urban fantasy takes the metropolis of London and rebuilds it into a unique realm of mythology, one that will leave you wondering what's really happening, a half-glance out of sight, the next time you find yourself wandering around the city. Now invisible and forgotten by London Above, Richard and Door-along with the trickster Marquis de Carabas and the stoic Hunter-must travel across Night's Bridge, seek an audience at the Earl's court, and acquire a rare key from the Black Friars for the angel Islington if either of them has a hope of returning to their former lives. It's a world that Richard Mayhew, a Scottish expatriate to the Big Smoke, slips into when he helps Door, a young woman on the run from unstoppable assassins who have killed her entire family. Neverwhere is a tale of London-not the city you know, but the London Below, a city unseen by the majority yet no less real, populated by the ignored, lost, and forgotten.
