"genre benders ofc" ? sorry, no clue...
If you want to sample Gaiman at his most accessible, STARDUST is a good one.
For his magical realism, THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE or, from SANDMAN, A GAME OF YOU.

For others classified as Magical Realism, check here:

Bear in mind that for some fantasy aficionados, Magical Realism is "fantasy-lite with pretensions".

As for genre benders, that refers to books that defy classification because of the way they stretch and expand the borders of one or more genres and do it well.
