[off topic]

If you like his work, look up Tanith Lee. She basically created 'weird fantasy' and Gaiman stole many of his best ideas directly from her.

A good start is "Night's Master." The Lord of all demons spends his days below the flat earth, and his nights tormenting and/or seducing humankind.

Thank you for the recommendation.

I've been championing her for years.

The new article in Vulture ("There is No Safeword") that broke the nda is the catalyst for this.
