Huh...

Anyone know what that might be? I don't remember anything particularly explicit in Neverwhere. Some scary bits, but there are scary bits in a LOT of YA fiction. I certainly don't remember anything as scary in Neverwhere as having MAIN CHARACTERS' heads cut off and carried around on other characters belts as happened in the sequel to the Mutiny on the Bounty, as I was required to read (and was traumatized by) in school. And could anything be more depressing than the ending of 1984 (which was also required reading)?

From EW.com:

A New Mexico school district temporarily removed Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere from library shelves after a local mother complained the book — which is required reading at the high school — had mature content. [KASA Fox]

Yeah, I read all of it yesterday on Gaiman's twitterfeed -- OMG, the drama.

Basically what queenofattolia said. :P
