Newly reissued with an introduction from Neil Gaiman. On a day in April just after three o'clock in the afternoon Robert Maitland's car crashes over the concrete parapet of a high - speed highway onto the island below where he is injured and finally trapped. What begins as an almost ludicrous predicament soon turns into horror as Maitland a wickedly modern Robinson Crusoe realizes that despite evidence of other inhabitants this doomed terrain has become a mirror of his own mind.
