Quote Quoting Winston* (view post)
I don't. What do you mean?

Describing his books sounds very much like you are describing something by Gaiman. He uses high concepts to tell stories in dark fantasy worlds that often co-exist with our "normal" world. That certain ethereal tone Miéville captures is reminiscent of Gaiman's "Sandman" and high fantasy works like "American Gods" and "Neverwhere".

However, Miéville is a much more accomplished writer, with a more distinct style of prose and feels to, generally, be a more capable storyteller.

Not that I am a Gaiman-basher, I just think he's a little over-hyped. He has some really intense fans.

I think Miéville may appeal to those who are interested in a Gaiman-esque narrative and view of fantasy fiction, but with a more unique style.
