From the Publisher:

Come, come hear of the strange and terrible tale of Miss Finch, an exacting woman befallen by mystery and abduction deep under the streets of London! New York Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman delivers another stunning hardcover graphic novel with longtime collaborator Michael Zulli (Creatures of the Night, The Sandman). This is the first time Gaiman’s popular story has been adapted to comics, having originally seen print in the U.K. edition of the author’s award-winning Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions. It was also interpreted for his Speaking in Tongues CD.

The Facts in the Case of the Departure of Miss Finch is a “mostly true story” that combines the author’s trademark magic realism with Zulli’s sumptuous paintings, with the able assistance of renowned letterer Todd Klein on the script adaptation for this special harcover presentation. Join a group of friends, with the stern Miss Finch in tow, as they enter musty caverns for a subterranean circus spectacle called “The Theater of Night’s Dreaming.” Come inside, get out of the pounding rain, and witness this strange world of vampires, ringmasters, illusions, and the Cabinet of Wishes Fulfill’d!
