Horror? To be honest, it doesn't suprise me greatly. Its very dark in some places. More so than, say, the Dark Tower series, and thats classified as horror, I believe...
Everyone should read American Gods at least once in their lives. It's an incredable book. When I leant it to the girl who was then my girlfriend, she read it two times through before even putting it down once. And I'm not exaggerating! (luckily I had work to do then anyway
)
I've read Neverwhere, which isn't up to the quality of American Gods, but still worth a read if you enjoyed AG. Haven't read Coraline, but I know he's publishing a new one later this year. Worth a look
